Description: | An incomplete copper alloy rowel spur of probably 17th century date (AD 1600 - 1700). Only the heel of the spur survives. It has a projecting circular straight rod that divides to house the missing rowel. The sides of the spur taper from the heel, but most of the sides are missing. The surviving parts are D-shaped in cross section and decorated on the outer face with punched annulets and lines. a double line lozenge shape surrounds the rowel box, and is filled with transverse incised lines. On both sides, another lozenge shaped frame meets with it, apex to apex, and contains a group of five annulets with lines between them. There are star motifs punched in the spaces between the lozenges. The start of a thrid lozenge is visible on the longer side. The surviving part is 36mm long, 50.6mm wide and 12.4mm thick. 16.97g. Compare SOM-A57313, SOMDOR-B05A27 and NARC-20D631.
