Object type: SPUR
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete lead alloy rowel spur of Post Medieval date. The spur consists of an oval sectioned neck which splits to form the rowel box with perforations with which to secure the rowel. The rowel and the rivet holding it in place were made of iron, as some iron corrosion remains in and around the rowel boc. The neck of the spur, which is integrally cast to the rest of the spur, extends and flares to form curved arms with a D-shaped section, both of which terminate in a worn break. More survives of one arm which can be seen to taper towards its broken end. The spur is 56.54mm in…

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete, but bent, Post-Medieval gilt copper alloy strap mount in the form of an acorn. On the front, the seed is plain, but gilded, and has a small knop at its apex. The cupula is decorated with low relief cross hatching, and is also gilded. The gilding only survives in a few patches. The undecorated reverse has two intact integral spikes at either end of the centre, one near the knop and the other near the stalk. These remain in the curved position which would have attached the mount to a leather strap or belt. Textile remains, which appears to be leather, is still in place…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Post-Medieval gilt copper alloy strap mount in the form of an acorn. On the front, the seed is plain, but gilded, and has a small knop at its apex. The cupula is decorated with low relief cross hatching, and is also gilded. The gilding only survives in patches. At the base of the cupula is an extension which has clearly broken. In comparison to similar mounts, this probably represented the stalk of the acorn (See IOW-B16A81). The undecorated reverse has the remains of two integral spikes at either end of the centre, one near the knop and the other near the stalk. T…
