The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of metal spurs. The spurs are made of dark gray metal with a rough texture. They are Y-shaped with two curved arms extending from a point. The left arm ends in a circular loop with a horizontal slit; the right arm also ends in a circular loop with a horizontal slit. The bottom of the Y has a sharp point. The background is a solid light gray color. The title of the image is "Prick Spur". The spurs appear to be old.
