Description: | An incomplete, late Medieval to post-Medieval, copper-alloy, rowel spur. The D-sectioned arms are incomplete due to old breaks and only the curve, where they meet remains. There is an indistinct, geometric pattern engraved onto the surface of the arms. The spur has a short curving neck and rowel box with a spherical, moulded section adjacent to the joint of the arms and a further, moulded collar adjacent to this. The arms of the rowel box and are rounded at their terminals and drilled for a spindle to hold the rowel (missing). Much of the rowel box is filled with iron corrosion, as are the spindle holes. The length of the neck and box is 30.1mm.
