Description: | A cast, copper-alloy terminal goad from a prick spur of composite construction and probable 11th or 12th century date. The terminal is pyramidal in plan and a four-armed star-shape in section. The flat base of the object has a 6.5mm circular hole drilled into it with iron oxide staining around it. The goad was probably attached to a hollow copper-alloy neck with a central iron shaft. See SUR-301C41 for a similar example.
