Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy composite strap end of Medieval date. Part of the forked spacer survives intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. It is flat, rectangular in form with one surviving forked terminal that tapers towards an incomplete point at the attachment end. At the base of the spacer is an integrally cast terminal knop in the form of an acorn with transverse collar separating it from the spacer. The entire object measures 55.67mm in surviving length, 14.47mm in width, 5.44mm in thickness and 6.34g in weight. Similar forked spacers are noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 671-684) and suggest a date in the 14th century AD for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
