Description: | A copper alloy rowel spur fragment, of medieval to postmedieval date. The fragment consists of one side with figure of eight terminals at the front; an iron rivet remains in one of these holes. The neck is downward turning; the rowel and other side are missing. Rowel spurs first came into use during the 13th century and had largely replaced the prick spur by the 14th century. A similar example can be seen in 'The Medieval Horse and its Equipment' number 333, p138- 139.
