Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy post-medieval spur arm and terminal, dating from the 17th century. The spur arm has three openwork elements of a rectangular, triangular and semi-circular form. Both the roughly rectanguler and semi-circular ornaments have two circular perforations, the two latter being for the rings and mounts that would have attached the leather strap. The arm is slightly bent out of shape; it has been straightened.Similar examples have been recorded on this database, including GLO-B47026,BERK-B1B8F4 WMID-27A6E4 and NMS-4D3753. Another example is known from Exeter, which, along with two others from London and Reigate (Surrey), were considered to share a common place of manufacture and to date to the second half of the 17th century (Ellis in Allan 1984: 341, fig.192 no. 145). Thanks to Andrew Rogerson for the ID and reference.
