Description: | Cast copper alloy rowel probably from a rowel spur of late medieval or post medieval date (1300-1500 AD). The rowel consists of an irregular four pointed star with an off-centre circular perforation (diameter 1.2mm). In profile the rowel is sub rectangular with rounded / bevelled edges. It measures 19.3mm length, 16.8mm width, is 2.1mm thick and weighs 1.42 grams. There is no decoration on either face of the rowel. It is a light- mid green colour with a much abraded patina which has mostly been removed from all surfaces. Similar rowels can be seen in Clark??s ??The medieval Horse and its equipment?? pp 140-141 and 147-149. In this Clark dates this relatively rare form of rowel to the period 1340-1390. This four pointed rowel is much smaller then many of the examples described. | Subjects: | Four point Rowel | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Reavill, Peter - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
