Pair of Rowel Spurs

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pair of Rowel Spurs by Artist. Two gold-colored spurs with a floral design and clear stones. The spurs have a long, curved neck with a rowel at the end. The rowel on the left spur is facing left and the rowel on the right spur, which is standing on its heel, is facing right. The spur on the left is lying on its side with the heel pointed to the right. The spurs have a decorative buckle at the top and are adorned with small, clear stones set into flower-shaped decorations. The background is a plain white surface with a slight shadow underneath the spurs.
