Description: | Fragment of arm from a copper-alloy spur. The arm is straight, and is decorated with three semi-circular cut-outs along each edge. There is an engraved saltire between each group of four cut-outs. At one end the spur arm then continues as a straight-sided stub with D-shaped cross-section, 6 mm wide, which runs up to a fresh break. At the other end is a heart-shaped terminal with each lobe of the heart perforated. One of the perforations is worn through. The dating of this spur fragment is difficult, but it is probably late medieval. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1066
