Description: | Incomplete Post Medieval copper alloy rowel spur, c. 17th century AD. The rowel and one arm is missing with the terminal for the part of the remaining arm missing as well.
The spur measures 58mm wide and is 8mm thick across the widest part of the arm, weighing 9.9g.
The neck of the spur has a lozenge followed by a single incised line leading to the rowel box. The rowel box is split in two and is straight with a single raised line on both sides before two rivet holes which would have been used to attach the rowel.
Cf. other 17th century examples in Read, 2001, p.60. | Subjects: | rowel | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cannings, Alice - Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
