Description: | Cast copper alloy spur rowel with five points, arranged in a star shape, in plan, around a central circular hole. The points are lozenge-shaped in section and are decorated on both sides with moulded oblique grooves, defining the points, and linear rows of stamped crescents on the cusps of the points. The rowel is quite corroded, so that the detail of the decoration is unclear, but there are traces of gilt on the surface of one face.Read (1988) illustrates an example with seven points but very similar decoration on page 127, No.806, which is dated from the 16th to the 17th century.Read (2001) illustrates a similar example with five points on page 66, Fig.42, No.508, which is dated from the 14th to the 17th century.Bailey (2002) illustrates a similar example with six points on page 36, Fig.18, which is dated to the 17th century.
