Description: | Copper alloy spur fragment comprising one terminal and part of the side of one side. The side is slightly tapered towards the terminal. The upper surface of the side is flat with bevelled sides, while the reverse is slightly convex, so that the side has a generally trapezoidal section (W. 8.39-7.03mm). There does not appear to be any decoration on the surfaces of the side. The side meets the figure-8 terminal between the two loops at a right angle. Attached to each loop is a copper alloy fitting. At one end of each fitting there is a hook, one of which is bent round so that it meets the fitting forming a loop. Beneath the hook there is a triangular projection on either side of each fitting. The fittings then expand before tapering to terminate in a rounded point. There is a circular aperture in the terminal of each fitting. Dull dark green patina. Side and terminal: L. 29.46mm. W. 14.83mm. Th. 4.29mm. Fitting 1: L. 22.36mm. W. 5.93mm. Th. 1.94mm. Fitting 2: L. 21.41mm. W. 6.11mm. Th. 2.13mm.
