Description: | A medieval - post medieval copper alloy hook attachment for spur leathers dating 13th - 16th century. This hook attachment has a central rectangular plate with a ring-loop rising from the top edge to attach it to the spur terminal and hook for the leather on the lower edge. The ring-loop projects to the front of the object and the hook projects to the back so in profile it is S-shaped. The central rectangular plate is decorated with a separated bar that runs diagonally across the front and is attached by a separate rivet (half of this bar is broken and missing but the rivet is still present); to either side of the bar the surface is decorated with a repeated punched annulet motif. The shape of the ring-loop is slightly distorted and is bent open.Dimensions: length: 25.18mm; width: 12.08mm; thickness (including the hook and ring-loop): 14.51mm; weight: 2.31g.Similar examples are illustrated in Clark (1995:148-149) with the suggested date range of 13th - 16th century.
