Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy spur with a moulded short neck, oval in section, and decorated with one thicker and one thinner collar. The neck then curves slightly downwards towards a dropped straight-sided rowel box in two parts with rounded terminals. The rowel is missing but the remains of the iron pin that would have held it in place can be seen in both of the terminals. The sides are plain and semi-circular in section, having been broken in antiquity, so that the majority are missing, including the terminals.
Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 157, No.1052, which is dated to c.1600-1675.
Read (2001) illustrates a similar but longer neck and rowel box on page 65, Fig.41, No.500, which is dated to the 17th century.
Bailey (2002) illustrates a very similar example on page 36, Fig.16, which is dated to the 18th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
