Description: | Cast copper alloy fitting/mount. Linear with one collared trefoil terminal - the two outer lobes are pierced (there is wear around one of the piercings), and it is moulded on both surfaces. The central strip is slightly concave along the length of both sides. The mount is broken across the other terminal - this is collared and apparently with two piercings (the mount is broken across these), with traces of iron corrosion around. Length 73.9mm, width (across terminal) 15.12mm, width (across centre of strap) 8.1mm, thickness 2.50mm, weight 9.49g.
This is similar in style to a medieval-early post medieval spur, although both terminals being pierced would preclude this. As it is moulded on both surfaces it would appear that it was meant to be viewed from both sides. | 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: | 1400
