| Description |
English: A complete copper alloy spur rowel of either medieval, or more likely post medieval, date (c. AD 1200-1800). The object is star-shaped with seven points, each flat in section. Both faces are flat and undecorated. An iron bar perforates the centre of the rowel. The arms are relatively regular in width with some variation in height, and taper to a point. Two of the arms are more worn at the tip and bent slightly inwards suggesting they may have come into contact with the horse more than the other arms. It is suggested by Ellis (2002) that rowel spurs supersede use of prick spurs in the thirteenth century AD, but the date of this spur rowel is uncertain. The metal is a medium green patina with orange iron corrosion staining the centre. The object has a diameter of 32mm, is 3.2mm thick and weighs 4.92g. Similar objects are recorded on the PAS database, e.g. NARC-E03A3D, DEV-23AF75. |
