Rowel Spur (Left)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of spurs. The spur on the left side is labeled "Rowel Spur (Left)" and has a curved neck with a rowel at the end, which is a star-shaped wheel with five points. The spur on the right is positioned behind the left one. Both spurs have a rusty appearance, with visible signs of wear and tear. The spur on the left has a short shank with a U-shaped base and two curved prongs that point downwards. The rowel is attached to the end of the neck via a small axis. The background of the image is a plain gray surface.
