There are worn breaks to the outer point of each lozenge. The rowel exhibits a grey-green patina on the surface, with areas of red at the tip of each point.The spur rowel measures 42.97mm in diameter, 3.24mm in thickness, the aperture measures 4.37mm in diameter and the rowel weighs 15.72g.Cf. Read (2001) p.66, fig. 42, no. 515, which Read dates as probably 14th century, but plausibly 17th century.
