14TH-16TH CENTURY A.D.
1/2 - 14 in. (5.9 kg total, 15-35.5 cm).
Composed of tools, fittings, cleavers, sickles, spurs, rowels and various other miscellaneous artefacts. [95, No Reserve]
PROVENANCE:
Acquired 1990s-early 2000s.
East Anglian private collection.
LITERATURE:
See Read, B., Identifying Detector Finds, figs.356-357, pp.62-63, for similar.
FOOTNOTES:
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.
