Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy post medieval spur. The sides and terminals of the spur are complete but the neck is lost from an old break. The terminals are figures of eight with the sides extending from level with the top loop; there are grooves between the loops and the loops and the sides. One terminal is complete, the other has lost part of the lower loop from an old break. The sides have been bent almost straight and from the terminals angle down slightly to a V where they met the neck, there are D shaped in section and appear undecorated. Double loop (figure of 8) terminals are seen on spurs of the 15th - 17th centurys and are most common on rowel spurs.
Measures 180.48 x 10.46mm and 4.28mm thick; weight 22.9gms. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Taylor, Jeff | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
