Description: | An incomplete cast copper rowel spur of probable seventeenth century date. The end of one arm and the rowel are missing and in its current state the spur measures 120.6mm by 67.3mm by 12.7mm and weighs 71.4g. The surviving terminal is in the form of a figure-eight, with one corrosion filled loop in line with the arm and the second set perpendicular. The arms have a slight upwards curve and a shallow triangular cross-section with the flat side facing inwards and a central longitudinal facet on the external face. This surface is decorated with incised chevrons, crescents and tiny stamped annulets. The arms taper towards the terminals. The rowel box's neck has a lozenge-shaped cross-section and initially projects upwards, but then curves downwards into a pair of rounded terminals. These are pierced centrally and contain iron corrosion. The rowel box is decorated with chevrons which have been formed from small incised crescents. | Subjects: | Rowel | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
