Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy rowel spur of probable Post-Medieval date. The arms and terminals are missing, as is the rowel itsel, due to old breaks. What remains of the arms are oval shaped in section, undecorated and expanding slightly towards the neck and rowel box. The neck is oval shaped in section , constricting slightly before expanding again to a rounded terminal end that curves downwards. This has a central triangular perforation that forms the rowel box, the remains of an iron bar that would have held the now missing rowel in place still visible perforating both sides of the box. This fragment measures 31.51mm in width, 36.14mm in length (including box), 5mm in thickness at arms, and weighs 18.19g.This spur is similar in form to examples published by Read (1995: nos. 1056, 1063) and dated to the 17th-18th centuries AD. The current example is of probable similar date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
