Description: | Terminal end of one side of a copper-alloy spur of late medieval to post-medieval date. The fragment consists of the final 29.6mm of the side of the spur and a figure of eight terminal. The side joins to the terminal at the centre of the figure of eight and at an angle of ninety degrees. The side has a semi-circular section and narrows in width towards the terminal. Each of the two holes in the terminal end contains a copper-alloy decorative fitment. These have pointed toungue shaped distal ends and decorative widenings at their proximal ends. They have been joined to the terminal by pushing through the narrow proximal ends of the fitments and then bending them back to form a link. The fragment measures 34.6mm long, by 8.2mm wide at the wider end and 12.1mm wide at the terminal. The fitments are 22.7mm long and 6.5mm wide at the widest part. Weight = 8.05g.
