Description: | Part of a cast, copper alloy rowel spur dating from the post medieval period, AD1500-1700. The remaining section consists of part of one arm and the rowel fitting. The arm is D shaped in section and tapers away from the rowel fitting. The rowel fitting is integral and is oval in section. At the inner end is a broad, oval collar separated from the arm by a narrow groove, then a narrow, oval collar, again separated by a groove, then a third groove before the end of the fitting is divided into two arms to take the rowel. These arms are D shaped in section and taper to circular terminals pierced to take the bar on which the rowel was mounted. A short section of the copper alloy mounting bar remains in each terminal. The spur has a patchy, dark green patina. It is 61.8mm long, 30.1mm wide and 8.4mm thick. It weighs 10.05gm. Compare LVPL-073B92, SF-919951and GLO-25E902.
