Medieval Iron Artefact Group
14th-16th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £65
Composed of tools, fittings, cleavers, sickles, spurs, rowels and various other miscellaneous artefacts. 5.9 kg total, 15-35.5 cm
Acquired 1990s-early 2000s. East Anglian private collection.
The spurs in this group can be identified and chronologically dated due to the multipoint rowels, which are typical of mid-late 15th century A.D. The rapid development of the armour in 15th century did not influence the trend for necks of rowel-spurs to considerably increase in length, a style which persisted well into the first half of 16th century A.D. -
