Description: | Two copper alloy rings, formed of a double loop of square sectioned wire the ends and middle of which are attached to each other and to the top of a knop. The knop has a circular top to which the wire is attached below which is a constriction then a oval terminal. Both the loops and terminal are complete with no breaks suggesting it was suspended from another obect through the loops. It is 20.1mm long, 16.6mm wide and the wire is 1.2mm thick; it weighs 1.06 grams.It is unclear what this is from. The finder has suggested a parallel with a wire looped terminal on a Medieval strap end recorded in Read (1995:64 no.327) dated to c.1350-1400 AD. However the loops are seperate in that example and not both attached to the terminal knop. The form of knop on this example is also more common on Post Medieval objects.
