Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy spur in two pieces probably dating to the 17th century. One of the terminals is broken but still present. The sides are undecorated and taper to the terminals which have two loops in a figure of 8 arrangement. The side meets the terminal between the two loops. From the back of the spur projects the rowel box which is circular in section with a bulbous section which then tapers and splits to form two arms. These arms are perforated horizontally to secure the rowel. The rowel is no longer present and iron corrosion fills the two perforations suggesting the axis bar was iron. There is a thin collar at the approximately midway along the rowel box. The copper alloy has a mid green patina.Dimensions: length: 93.43mm; width: 76.81mm; thickness: 11.93mm; weight: 36.35g
