Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy spur of Post Medieval date, probably seventeenth century (AD 1600 - AD 1700). Length 27mm, width 19.5mm and 3mm thick. Weight 3.97g.The fragment is the complete figure-8 terminal and a small part of the side. Each of the circular openings within the loops that accommodate the spur buckles are about 4mm in diameter and appear to be countersunk on both faces although this may have been created by wear from friction with the buckles. The outer face of the side is bevelled and the whole of the inner face of the fragment is flat. One loop only is attached to the side which forms an angle of about 70° with the terminal. The break is old and the surfaces are rough and slightly corroded. A mid-green patina survives in places on both faces.
