Description: | A Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper alloy knopped object, probably part of a strap end spacer or clasp. The terminal knop is bracketed by two double sets of spurs. It has broken at the top of the shank. IOW-6D0304, LON-152238, and SUSS-C178C5 are similar, and described as strap end spacers. They are also distorted and broken in a similar way (to an extreme in the case of SUSS-C178C5) and, given the robustness of the artefacts, this would seem to be more likely to result from use as a clasp/buckle than as a strap end spacer. The object probably dates to within the period from c1250 to c1550 AD.The length is 73mm, the width is 15mm, the thickness is 3mm, and the weight is 10.84g.
