Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy spur of probable seventeenth century date. The surviving part has a maximum length of 76.2mm, a maximum width of 49.5mm and a width of 16mm. It weighs 31.3g. The downwards curving rowel box has two holes in the terminal which would have held the axis bar for the missing rowel. The arms of the spur have D-shaped cross-sections, with a flat internal surface and a curving external surface. The widest point is at the neck and the decorative curvilinear sides narrow towards the missing terminals. The external surfaces are covered in large and small stamped annulets, and there are a number of globular knops spaced at intervals of about 10mm which project from the external face.
