Description: | Copper alloy strap end fragment. Cast forked spacer from a composite strap end, with a rectangular collar and cup below an acorn knop which springs from a near-circular element which is wider than the forked part and which would have conferred additional strength on the spacer plate. Tinned overall, though this is lost to wear at the knop. Diagonal file marks aopear on the prongs of the spacer, which, together with its remaining white metal coating, may suggest the strap end remained assembled until fairly recently to protect these features. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1400.Length: 47.14gms, Width: 18.6mm, Thickness (at knop): 4.1mm, Weight: 5.26gms.
