Description: | Fragment of a leaded copper alloy Post Medieval to Modern spur. The spur comprises of one complete arm and a fragment of the attachment. The second arm is missing due to an old break close to the attachment end. The attachment end curves outwards and splits. Only half of this split remains with a circular hole for a rivet in the centre. The complete arm terminates in a double loop forming a figure of eight (8). Two copper alloy mounts are looped through the figure of eight extending into a trefoil with the lower foil bulbous and extended. A patch of iron corrosion is on one mount. The spur measures 92.0mm in length and 48.0mm in width. The arm is 4.1mm in thickness and the spur weighs 30.61g.
