Description: | A cast copper alloy medieval to post-medieval spur.
The rowel box, the neck and two broken sides all survive. All that is missing is the rowel itself and the terminals of the sides. The breaks at the ends of the sides are very worn and corroded. The sides have been bent almost into a circular. The sides are not decorated.
The rowel box is also decorated with moulded designs, comprising of three collars. The rowel box prongs are very short and are pierced to house a pin, which would have gone though the centre of the rowel.
The metal is slightly pitted and much of the original surface survives. The surface is a mid greyish-green colour.
This spur probably dates from circa 1450 ? 1700. | 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: | 1450
