Description: | A cast copper alloy arm of a spur, from a spur buckle. The arm would have joined the spur to the buckle. The arm has basically been formed from a D-shaped strip of copper alloy, with two small loops on one terminal, which have been cast as one piece to the rest of the arm. The loops are side by side and are shaped like a figure of eight. The metal is a dark reddish-brown colour, with most of the original smooth surface surviving. The break at the opposite end to the loops looks well worn. The object is post-medieval in date circa 1570 ?? 1700. A parallel can be seen in Whitehead, 2003, pages: 81 ref: 504. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
