Two silver-colored metal spurs, Pair of Rowel Spurs, with engraved designs on the curved main body, each featuring a star-shaped rowel with pointed tips at the end of a short neck. The rowels have a small ball bearing in the center and are attached to the main body by a short neck. The main body of each spur has a pointed end with a small loop at the tip. The spurs are lying on a gray surface, with one positioned above and to the right of the other, with the upper spur rotated slightly to the right.
