Description: | A copper alloy prick from a spur (probably), dating from the Medieval to early Post-medieval period. The prick is long and sharp with four facets; there is a collar at the blunt end which would have been attached to the heelplate of the spur. Prick spurs pre-date rowel spurs, and this example is probably 14th - 16th century in date. One would not have liked to have been the horse should this interpretation be correct!
