Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy 'star' rowel from a spur. The rowel has twenty points which are round in section and joined for the lower third of their length. The rowel is 67.1mm in diameter with a thickness of 4.5mm and weighs 54.81g. There is a central perforation which has been worn into an oval shape which is 6.1mm long by 4.4mm in width. Clark (1995 p 147) suggests large star rowels were fashionable in the last quarter of the fourteenth century but died out by the start of the fifthteenth.
