Description: | A corroded and incomplete Post Medieval copper alloy spur attachment fitting. The strap attachment end of the fitting is a pointed oval shape and has an integral copper alloy rivet with a large domed head projecting from the back. At its thinner end the oval tapers into a much narrower arm with lobed knobs to either side. Below the knobs the arm continues and terminates in an old break. Read (1988) Fig 21, No.11 and Fig 17, No.6 illustrates two similar hooked fittings with attachment studs. One of these is hooked through a hole of a figure-of-eight spur arm terminal and was presumably used to attach the spur to a leather strap. Read dates these types to the 16th century AD.
