Description: | A complete copper-alloy Medieval forked spacer from a composite strap end. The terminal end is comprised of a stylized acorn knop with cross-hatched cup, raised rim and rounded knop above. Beneath this knop the plate is waisted before broadening out to form the shoulders of the forked spacer. The arms of the spacer are sub-square in section and as they taper towards the tips flare slightly outwards away from each other. Similar spacers are shown in Egan; Dress Accessories (2002); p144 which are dated by ceramic association to 1250-1450 AD.
