Miscellaneous-Buckles & OrnamentPrick Spur possibly 2nd-1st century B.C. possibly Roman or Celtic Spurs have been found in Celtic and Greek contexts from the 5th century B.C. onwards. In high antiquity, they were not used in pairs, but rather as a single accessory attached to only one of the feet, usually on the left. The first pairs are recorded in some Greek regions in the late 2nd century B.C. They were used, as they are today, for directing a horse to move forwards. The prick spur was the first type of spur to be invented, and it consists of a goad or prick, more or less pointed, connected to side arms or a heel plate. The earliest spurs were probably simple thorns attached at the back of the heel or ankle, before they began to be made out of metal..

This is not possible due to the opening of the Kram, which is reduced by thicker legs and clamps the key. Only when the boat is in the water and the tension of the hoist is gone, the key falls due to its own weight and the hoist is released. The grooves prevent the key from sliding out of the Kram.
