Description: | Neck and rowel box from a gilded copper-alloy rowel spur. The neck is broken at the start of two surviving wide rounded mouldings (old break); there is a much narrower moulding at the junction with the rowel box. The rowel box is angled and narrows sharply; it is crossed by a transverse lobe before swelling out again into rounded terminals which are pierced for the iron bar, which only survives as a stain. The whole object is covered with small punchmarks made by an annulet punch usually held at an angle to produce C-shaped marks. A close published parallel has not been found for this spur, but it is probably late medieval or early post-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: | 1350
