Description: | The spur terminal is a sub-lozenge shape in section and terminates with an uneven and shallow 'U' shape. In patches on the terminal and in the crevice of the 'U' shape is a dark green patina. The patina in the crevice suggests that the terminal continued with the crevice forming the terminal of a slot for the spur, instead of a prick spur. The terminal is also decorated with punched crescents in a horizontal 'J' shape. The spur terminal is angled upwards slightly, compared to the horizontal arms of the spur. The arms are 'D' shaped in section, however the outer edge is moulded with vertical ridges. The arms gradually tapers and are then incomplete. The corrosion has a brown red colour where the dark green patina no longer exists. The arms are slightly distorted by being angled to one side at c. 110°. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
