Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy spur of post-medieval date.
The heavily corroded piece represents the neck and box from a rowel spur. The neck consists of a horizontally-aligned bi-conical moulding with a groove around the centre. A vertical ridge separates the neck from the box, which is angled downwrds slightly. The two parallel box sides have a bulbous proximal end and taper in width towards vertical moulded collars, which, in turn, give way to perforated circular lugs. Traces of gilding can be seen on the surface of the spur.
The piece measures 36.95mm long, 9.81mm wide and 14.92mm high. The weight is 10.6g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
