Description: | Copper-alloy spur fragment. There is a zoomorphic hook at the top. The spur prick is missing, but iron corrosion shows where it would have been attached below the hook. There are bifurcated projections above and below the prick. One arm survives; it has a plano-convex section and terminates in a disc which is pierced for attachment. There is iron corrosion within the rivet on this disc. Traces of a white metal coating on the disc terminal. The spur is flat, but would have originally been convex in order to fit the contours of the ankle.
