Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy rowel spur of medieval to post-medieval date.
Only the back part of the object survives. The side is of D-shaped section and extends smoothly into the neck. The rowel box consists of a longitudinal slit in the end of the neck and the missing rowel would have been held in place by an iron bar, corroded remnants of which survive. Iron corrosion also exists at each end of the side, indicating that the front end of the spur was made of iron.
The piece measures 49.4mm long, 51.6mm wide and 9.4mm thick. The weight is 17.26g. | 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
