Description: | Incomplete, cast copper alloy rowel spur. The horizontally straight sides, D-shaped in section, taper from the neck of the spur towards the terminal. One arm is broken halfway along its length, the other is complete but has a damaged terminal. Enough of the terminal remains to suggest that it was originally formed by two rings, set like a figure-of-eight, equally above and below the front of the spur side. The neck is short, starts horizontal and then tapers towards the downward bent rowel box. The back of the spur is decorated with an elongated lozenge motif made up of cast lines. Corrosion visible in the rowel suggests that the rowel pin was made of iron. Seventeenth to early eighteenth century in date. | Subjects: | Rowel | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | MacDonald, Philip | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
