Pair of Rowel Spurs

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pair of rowel spurs by an unknown artist. Two metal spurs with straps, lying on a flat surface. The spurs have a long, curved neck and a star-shaped rowel at the end. Each spur has a strap with a buckle. The rowel on one spur has six points, and the other has five points. The straps are made of dark material, possibly leather, and are frayed at the ends. The background is a plain gray surface.
