Description: | An incomplete Medieval cast copper-alloy attachment for spur leather (1300-1400).A two-part fitting consisting of a separate cast copper-alloy free-running ring with a separate cast copper-alloy folded plate. The ring has an outer diameter of 20.51mm and is circular in cross-section with a diameter of 2.72mm. Each element of the plate is similar. Close to the fold is a flat sub-oval swelling from which the plate is narrow with parallel sides. It then expands to form a flat sub-oval terminal. The outer face of each terminal is partially covered with iron corrosion and probably obscures a rivet hole.The fitting is corroded overall and is in poor condition. The plate has been repaired at the bend since discovery.Ring: outer diameter: 20.51mm; thickness: 2.72mm.Plate: length: 42.39mm; width: 13.02mm; thickness: 7.74mm.Overall length: 58.11mm; overall weight: 7.17g.
