Description: | Copper alloy cock spur weighing 2.12g. The curving prick is trangular in cross section and is 21mm long. It is integral to and perpendicular to an oval ring. The diameter of the ring (or socket) is smallest where the prick is attached (11x10mm) and flares towards the outer edge (13X15). It is 5.5mm deep and has four circular perforations 1.5mm in diameter. These were probably to attach the spur to the leather surrounding the birds leg as illustrated on page 60 of Bailey (2000). The object is similar to WAW-303251 from Lulsley in Herefordshire/Worcestershire dating from the Medieval or early Post-Medieval period (1500-1800).
This object was found with a half-sphere blue glass ball with a white-purple-green stripe, mounted on a ring of copper alloy. This fits into the socket of the spur. It weighs 0.89g. | 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: | 1500
