An incomplete post-Medieval multi-pointed spur rowel (c. 1550-1750). Both faces are convex and each point tapers in thickness and width. The distances between the points differs around the rowel and the depth of the point is also variable. In total there five large points each marked with a central making the object resemble a leaf. The hole at the centre is circular and has a diameter of 2.88mm. The rowel is a mid brownish green colour, but the surface patina has been removed in one small patch. A light green active corrosion is present. The rowel measures 34.71mm length, 33.24m…
