Description: | An incomplete and worn cast copper-alloy Post Medieval rowel spur of 17th century date. The spur is incomplete as it is missing the rowel, rowel box and one arm. The fragment is formed of one hemispherical in section side which curves slightly in plan and terminates in a elongated curved in plan terminal. The body of the terminal expands to two circular lobes and retains two circular copper-alloy rivets in situ; these are circular in section through the body and flat in section at the head and measure 9.3mm and 9.7mm in diameter. Around one of the rivets is retained a sub-triangular in plan attachment loop, with a sub-rectangular aperture; the two rectangular extensions either side of this aperture retain red-brown corrosion product usually associated with the presence of iron. This artefact has a mid green colour overall, and similar examples can be found on this database as WMID-90C722, NARC-E01AC6, LVPL-869941 and SUR-DBC374.This spur fragment measures 61.6mm in length, 14.9mm in width, 7.35mm in thickness and weighs 8.9 grams.
