Description: | A Medieval to Post-Medieval (1300-1700) copper alloy star-shaped spur rowel, measuring 36.29x34.37x3.96mm and weighing 9.22g.The rowel consists of five ovoid-section points extending from a perforated centre (3.84mm), for attachment to the spur. Small patches of original patina survive, otherwise all original patina has been lost.Such spur rowels were used in both the Medieval and Post Medieval periods, and are therefore difficult to give a more specific date to when found outside of an archaeological context. For further examples of similar star rowels, cf. Read 2001, Fig 42, Nos. 505-510.
