Pair of Spurs

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pair of Spurs by unknown artist. Two spurs with long, pointed metal tips and worn leather straps. The spurs are made of dark-colored metal, possibly steel or iron, with a long, tapering point. The leather straps are brown and worn, with visible signs of aging and use. The straps have a rough, textured surface and appear to be made of a thick, heavy leather. The straps are attached to the metal tips with small metal rivets or buckles. The background is a plain gray surface, providing a neutral backdrop for the spurs.
