Description: | A copper-alloy spur rowel of probable medieval date. These items are very difficult to date but the small size and relatively simple form of this piece suggest an early to mid 14th century AD date (see London Museum; 1967; pp. 105).
The rowel has seven short points of equal length. Below each point two indented lines angle inwards towards the circular central hole, giving the impression of a series of lozenges. Both sides of the object retain traces of gilding.
The object measures 29.1mm in diameter, 2.1mm thick and weighs 4.89g. | 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
