Description: | Elaborate openwork terminal very close to those on a post-medieval copper alloy rowel spur from Exeter (Ellis, B. in Allan 1984, 341, fig. 192 no. 145). A rectangular cut-out in the centre of the base of the triangular aperture is probably a result of mis-casting rather than damage. A short length of the side remains. Many examples of this distinctive design have now been recorded (e.g. LANCUM-D569A3; NMS-989A92; NMS-C241A7). Extant length 37.4mm, of which terminal comprises 32.5mm. Width 14.8mm. Thickness 2.8mm. The D-sectioned side is very flimsy, width 3.9mm, thickness 2.2mm. Second half 17th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
