Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy spur fitting, semi-circular in section, with an oblique 'figure of eight' terminal with a central hole between two larger holes. The holes would have held loops to attach them to the straps surrounding the boot to hold the spur in place. Two oblique lines define the edge of the terminal from the arm or bar. The rest of the spur, including the rowel, rowel box and other arm, are missing.
Read (1988) illustrates a similar example from Exeter on page 157, No.1061, which is dated to the mid-17th century.
Bailey (2002) illustrates a similar fragment with three holes on page 36, Fig.17, which is dated to the 17th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
