Description: | A cast copper alloy medieval to post-medieval spur. Part of the rowel box, the neck and two broken sides are all that survive of this spur. The breaks at the ends of the sides are very worn and corroded.
The rowel box has been formed from two prongs. One of the prongs has broken off, leaving a short worn stump. The second prong survives intact and has a bulbous rounded terminal. The inner surface of this prong is flat, to allow the second (now broken off) prong to sit next to it. A small patch of iron corrosion indicates where the iron pin once was, this pin would have held the rowel in place.
The neck is short and thickens towards the sides of the spur. The sides are oval in section.
The metal is slightly pitted, but much of the original surface survives. The surface is smooth and is a mid greyish-green colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
