Description: | An incomplete copper alloy late Medieval or Post-Medieval rowel spur. One arm, part of the other and half the rowl box survives. The surviving arm is D-shaped in cross section, expanding slightly towards the rear and culminating in two ajoining attachment loops at the narrower end. The arms follow a shallow curve underneath the wearer's ankles. The rowl box is simple in form with an iron rivet remaining in situ at the end of the surviving part. The straight arms suggest a post-1450 date (Clark 1995, 130). Similar copper alloy examples from Norwich are illustrated by Margeson (1993, 222, fig.169&170), dating to 15th to 17th century.Length: 77.47mm, width: 60.33mm, thickness: 10.50mm, weight: 21.43g
