Rowel Spur

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a metal rowel spur titled "Rowel Spur" by an unknown artist. The spur has a long, twisted metal shank with two attachments at the end. One attachment is a rowel, a star-shaped wheel with multiple pointed spokes radiating from a central point. The other attachment is a box-shaped piece with a ball hanging from it. The spur's surface features intricate designs, including filigree and textured patterns. The background is a gradient of dark to light gray, with shadows cast by the spur. The overall appearance suggests an antique or vintage piece.
