Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy spur of Post-Medieval date. It is missing its terminals, rowel, one rowel box arm and most of both sides due to old breaks. The remaining areas of the sides/arms are oval shaped in section, expanding towards the centre where there is an integrally cast rowel box. This has an oval sectioned neck from which extend two arms with dome-shaped terminals that have transverse collars and central circular rivet holes, one of the terminals now missing due to old breaks. On the outer surfaces of the spur arms is incised foliate decoration extending from the rowel towards the now missing terminals of the spur, contained within relatively crudely incised transverse borders at top and bottom. The entire object has a mid green patina and measures 59.34mm in current width, 64.24mm in current length, 17.77mm in maximum height, 3.38mm in thickness, the rowel box measures 8.92mm in width, 6.34mm in thickness and 18.66mm in length, the entire object weighs 26.64g.This is an incomplete rowel spur of Post-Medieval date similar to examples recorded through the PAS (e.g. ESS-C51636, NMS-D8A177 or SUR-2F7C33). It is of probable 16th to 17th century AD date.
