Description: | Incomplete early post medieval copper alloy rowel spur with much of the surface missing. Almost one entire arm is also missing (broken just next to the neck) as well as part of the figure-of-eight terminal on the surviving arm. It measures 102.2mm in length and weighs 27.73g.
The surviving arm is flat in section though sightly curved on the outside. It appears to have had transverse line decoration although almost all original surface is lost. Just before the terminal a fragment survives with C-shaped stamps. The arm is 12.5mm high beside the neck and narrows to 8.8mm at the terminal.
The figure-of-eight terminal has an iron rivet through the uppermost piercing and is broken through the lower.
The neck extends upwards before curving and drooping. This retains much of the original patina and a punched-circle and punched C-shape decoration is apparant.
Cf. Read 2001 no.501 for shape, but with a shorter neck.
