Description: | A cast copper alloy forked spacer from a composite strap end dating from the Medieval period. It is missing the two plates which would have held the leather strap between them on either side of the spacer. The spacer has a collared knop and a single copper alloy rivet. One forked terminal tapers into a point, the other has broken off around half way along its length and is now missing. The object has a patchy green patina. Similar examples can be seen in Egan and Pritchard (1991) 'Dress Accessories' page 142 and they date from 1330 - 1450. See also SWYOR-036AA8.
