Description: | Copper alloyRowel Spur, perhaps for a woman or child. The rowel (now lost) was pinned horizontally within a split neck of length 24mm. Its attachment to straight spur sides of flat plano-convex section is marked by a thickened moulded base. Both sides terminate in a lug which housed vertical swivelling pins (lost), apparently engaging with further separate elements of the spur sides (both also now lost). The span of the surviving elements of spur is 57mm. This provision for adjustment may suggest a spur made for a woman or child, or one intended to permit adjustment for growth or to fit smaller sized feet. The finish is fine, and the remaining elements are in excellent preservation. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800. Length: 50.45mm, Width (or span): 56.90mm, Thickness (or maximum depth of sides): 8.93mm, Weight: 19.92gms
