Description: | An incomplete copper alloy rowel spur of post-medieval date. The spur is broadly 'Y' shaped in plan with 'U-shaped' arms and right-angled rowel box projecting from the centre at a 90 degree angle. The upper surface of the arms is rounded. Each arm terminates with a break. At the end of the longer arm are the remains of the top part of a circular loop which would have been for attachment. The outer face of this arm is decorated with V-shaped thickening of the object towards the rowel box. The rowel box is oval in section and widens to a rounded terminal. This is split by a cast vertical slit into which the now-missing rowel would have fitted. Within the split is the remains of iron corrosion. The object has a mid-brown patina.Dimensions: 75mm in length, 45mm in width, 10mm thick, 29.5g
