Description: | Medieval spur; incomplete cast copper alloy prick spur of probable 13th century date. The spur has a flat, curved arm which has become distorted out of its true orientation. It ends with a double circular loop terminal. The goad is large and chunky, of square pyramidal shape with a collar around the base where it joins the conical extension from the spur itself. The other arm of the spur is missing. The whole shows traces of gilding.
Length 92mm, width 28.9mm, thickness 9.6mm, weight 25.70g
