Rowel Spur

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal spur with a rowel, titled "Rowel Spur". The spur has a long, curved neck with a worn, silver-colored metal surface. The neck is connected to a U-shaped piece with three holes on each side for attaching to a boot. The rowel is a star-shaped wheel with eight pointed spokes. The spur and rowel show signs of wear and aging, with a rough texture and dark spots. The background is a plain gray surface.
