Description: | A Post-Medieval lead alloy (probably pewter), rowel spur fragment (AD 1600-1850). The rowel box and lengths of both the sides are all that remain of the spur. The sides have a rough triangular cross-section where the internal surface curves slightly. The outer surface is decorated with a simple moulded angular decoration, pointing away from the rowel. There is a groove at the junction between the rowel box and the sides; possibly suggesting the spur was made in elements and soldered together. The rowel box is in the shape of an hourglass - flaring at either end - and curves downwards. The slot for the rowel is filled with iron corrosion from the iron bar that secured the rowel in place. The rowel is no longer present. Dimensions: length 57.7mm; width 44.3mm; weight 22.36g | 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
