Description: | A fragment of Post-Medieval (1600-1800) tinned copper alloy rowel spur with grooved decoration, consisting of the neck, rowel box and parts of both arms. It weighs 20.42g and measures 51.73x45.34x11.99mm. The tinning survives in the grooved decoration only, and on the underside of the neck.The neck is oval in cross section (7.92x5.40mm) and projects c.21mm from the arms. It has a central slot for the rowel (now filled with iron corrosion) and a piercing at either end of its flared rowel box (for the spindle, also filled with iron corrosion). The flared rowel box measures 12.61x5.62mm and curves downwards.The arms are D-shaped in cross-section, being flat on the inside. The decoration is in the form of two elongated pointed-ovals, one inside the other, with the neck at the centre and extending along each arm. The break of one arm truncates this decoration. It extends along the complete side c.28mm.
