Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy spur of medieval to post-medieval date. This piece probably originates from a rowel spur. Excavated evidence from London suggests that the rowel spur superseeded the prick spur in the 13th century AD (London Museum; 1967; pp. 103).
The curved back of the object survives, the remainder of the sides having been broken off. The sides are of D-shaped section, with a flat inner face and slightly convex outer face. The copper-alloy neck has been made separately and attached to the back of the curved portion. The neck tapers from front to back and is broken off at the box end.
The object measures 40mm long, 47.9mm wide and 10.2mm thick. The weight is 13.39g. | Subjects: | Rowel | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
