Description: | An incomplete copper alloy post-medieval spur. Only part of one arm and terminal survives. The arm is D-shaped in cross section. The terminal consists of a flattened loop with an off-centre collar behind it and a further collar followed by a break at the outer end where one or more further loops would presumably have been attached. Tool marks can be seen on both faces. Copper alloy rowl spurs with loop terminals like this one are largely post-medieval in date, although few published examples appear to have this type of collar decoration on the terminals. A similar, decorated example has been recorded on the PAS database from Berkshire: BERK-4802E7.Length: 48.57mm, width: 10.84mm, thickness: 2.60mm, weight: 4.72g
