Description: | A gilded copper alloy rowel spur, with an angled neck and rowel box. Measurement of the slot for the rowel suggests that the rowel was about 50mm in diameter. The surviving side has a figure of eight terminal attached by one of the loops rather than centrally. The sides and neck are decorated with small rectangular protrusions alternately along the sides and with wriggle work. It is considered (Ellis in Clark, 1995)that spur sides are curved until the mid 15th century and that after about 1450 the curve lessens until they are completely straight. This straight sided spur therefore, is likely to date fron post 1500
