Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval rowel spur. The d-shaped section sides tapers to the broken ends, from which the terminals are now missing. The arched neck, typical of the period has a moulded collar at the point where it meets the rowel box. The attachment holes for the missing iron bar also have a moulded collar. The rowel is missing. The surviving length is 86.9mm, the maximum external width between the sides is 46.9mm and the weight is 32.20g.
Similar rowel spurs with an arched neck have been dated by B.Ellis to the 17th century and can be found in S. Margeson (1993, p.220, No.1799 & 1800). | 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: | 1600
