Title
An incomplete cast copper-alloy late Roman spur.
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy late Roman spur. This spur is almost complete with only one of the terminal plates missing. The spurs arms are triangular in section with one side being slightly longer than the other this is due to how the spur would be placed upon the heel. One arm ends with a flat, sub-circular terminal which has a central attachment rivet hole, with the corroded remains of the iron rivet still intact. It is likely that the opposite arm terminates in the same way. Unusually for a British spur this example has a third flat circular terminal with a rivet, instead of having the traditional feature of a swan neck. This suggests that this particular spur is of continental manufacture. At the centre of these three extensions is the prick plate, the spur prick is missing, but iron corrosion shows where it would have been attached. There are decorative projections below the prick plate.
