Description: | Copper alloy rowel spur, probably dating to between c.1650-c.1750. One side is broken about half way along its length. Within the rowel-box is some corroded iron. This may be the remants of the bar and possibly the rowel. The spur weighs 31.60g and is 75mm in length.
The rowel box and neck are oval in cross section and point slightly downwards. The sides of the spur nearest the rowel are also oval, but become triangular in section towards the attachment end. They are decorated with two incised lines. At the rowel end these are furthest apart and lie either side of the rowel neck. They join forming a V-shape half way along the side, as the cross section of the arm becomes triangular. The surviving complete arm has a figure of eight terminal which joins the side at a right angle and between to two loops.
The spur is similar to 1056, 1060 and 1063 in Read (1995). | 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: | 1650
