Description: | An fragment of a medieval copper-alloy spur. Length: 34.2mm; width: 8.5mm; thickness: 3.8mm; mass: 4.5g. The object consists of an incomplete arm with two broken ends. One end is the terminal with an incomplete loop to one side, and a broken stub to the other side. The arm is broadly D shaped in section, although the back is slightly convex rather than being straight. The straight sided arm expands from the terminal. The fragment has a green patina, with some brown surface deposits visible. The breaks do not appear to be recent. The terminal is probably a Type B (ii) terminal identified by Ward-Perkins in the Museum of London's "Medieval Catalogue" (1940, p95). Probably medieval, c.13th-14th century.
