Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy forked spacer for a composite strap-end of Medieval date (c. 1350-c. 1400).This spacer has a plain acorn knop with a collar dividing the acorn element from the two prongs. The incomplete prongs are flat and rectangular in cross-section and have a thickness of 2.1mm. File marks (possibly) are visible on the front and rear faces of the prongs.The acorn and collar have traces of a brown patina and the spacer is partially covered with light green corrosion products. The breaks are old. 33.5 x 11.6 x 5.0mm. Weight: 3.11g. A complete strap-end with a very similar spacer has been found in London and dated c.1350-c. 1400 (Egan and Pritchard 1991:144, fig. 94, ref: 673).
