Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Post-Medieval rowel spur dating from about the 17th-18th Centuries. The spur is formed of a curved and flattened copper alloy band which would fit around the base of the ankle/heel. Both arms are incomplete, but more of one side survives and flares outwards, but both terminals are missing. The arms are D-shaped in section. Projecting from the rear of the arms, at the midpoint is the split terminal for taking the, now missing, rowel. The split terminal is circular in section and has two grooves, with a ridge between, as decoration. Compare to PAS records ID: LVPL-319747, SWYOR-0737F6 and SWYOR-8AEE12. The small size of this spur may suggest it belonged to a child.
