Description: | Copper alloy, painted or oiledSpur fragment. Cast heel from a rowel spur, with a short moulded collar from which one side of a bifurcated rowel box projects. A thick dark coating may be either paint or linseed oil, the latter being a documented and widely reported treatment characteristic of early post-medieval metalwork. The size of the spur may suggest it was intended for a youth or child, while the short distance between heel and rowel box may further suggest it to have been worn as much as a fashion accessory as for riding. Similar to, perhaps even a pair with NLM-131414. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Length: 34.9mm, Width: 42.2mm, Height (at heel): 11.5mm, Thickness: 5.1mm, Weight: 12.07gms.
