Description: | An incomplete spur rowel of medieval to post-medieval date. The basic design of rowels changed little throughout the medieval and post-medieval periods and a broad date range of 14th to 18th century is therefore suggested for this piece.
The body consists of a sub-oval plate with a central attachment hole (worn on one side). Three of the six original arms remain intact, each tapering to a sharp point. Between each pair of arms is a decorative pointed moulding. This design is visible on both sides.
The piece measures 42.7mm in diameter by 2.8mm thick and weighs 4.24g. | 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: | 1300
