Accession No

1908.107


Description

Spur. Rounded sides form a wide frame, curving down towards the neck and terminals. The ends curve upward slightly, one figure-of-eight terminal remains but is missing on the other. A loop is attached three-quarters along each side - one appears to contain a rectangular plate attached by a hook. The neck has a thick circular ring, with a rowel box curving upwards containing a six-pointed rowel. All but one of the points are damaged by corrosion.
