Description: | A post-medieval copper-alloy spur. The spur was the tradional U-shape but only one arm remains. The arm is curved in profile and D-shaped in cross-section, tapering to the incomplete terminal. The apex of the arm is decorated along its length with notches, with two pairs of moulded transverse ribs. The centre of the spur contains a raised moulded pointed oval knop.The metal has a reddish patina and while the form and patina resemble 11th century metalwork, this spur is 17th century. See SUSS-690821for a similar example.
