An incomplete case copper alloy spur, probably dating to the 18th - 19th Century. The sides have a lozenge shaped section and are decorated with an incised floral design. They are inlaid with gold or silver. One is complete with a figure of eight terminal, the other has lost its terminal due to a break. The neck has two faceted faces decorated with a series of chevrons. The rowel box and rowel no longer survive.
