Description: | A post-medieval rowel spur, probably of the 17th century. Made of copper-alloy it appears to have been tinned or gilded. The spur has a swan-type neck and the sides (D-shaped in section with a flat inner face) are decorated with a linear, opposed triangular moulding. There are also punched dots forming curving whorls, suggesting foliage which covers the external (that visible when being worn) surface of the spur.It is damaged, missing both terminals, about 60% of one arm and the rowel. Much of the surface finish is now gone leaving most of the item dark green and brown.
