Description: | An incomplete copper alloy rowel spur of medieval date (c. AD 1350 - 1450). The spur consists of a cylindrical neck which commences in an old break. The neck is 33.87mm long and exhibits a collar. It then splits into two arms which form the rowel box. The arms are D-shaped in cross-section and expand along their length from 5.56mm in width to 7.12mm in width. At the end of each arm is a circular perforation. These house the copper alloy axis bar for the rowel. The rowel is circular and is incised with a series of grooves radiating out from the center, dividing the spur into over 35 sections. None of the pointed tips survive. The rowel measures 27.72mm in diameter.The spur measures 42.95mm in length, 9.69mm maximum width and weighs 13.06g.Similar exampes are illustrated in Clark, J, 1995, p. 143, nos. 348 - 349.
