Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy spur fragment (1500-1650). All that remains of the spur is the double looped terminal and a small length of one of the arms. Attached through the loops is the plate from a spur buckle. The buckle plate is decorated with two lobes, one on each side before it expands to form the frame. There is iron corrosion adhering to the plate, most likely the remains of the pin. The pin and the frame are no longer present. The buckle plate is bent and distorted, possibly due to contemporary damage. Attached through the other loop is a clip/mount. The form echoes the form of the buckle with the two decorative lobes, one on each side. The mount then has a lozengiform terminal with iron corrosion present in the centre of the upper and lower surfaces. This is probably the remains of a rivet still present in the perforation.
Dimensions: Length 34mm; Width 38mm; Thickness 7mm; Weight 8.15g. | 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: | 1500
