Rowel Spur

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is of a "Rowel Spur" by an unnamed artist. The object is made of dark metal with a rusty appearance. It has a long, thin, curved piece with two small circular holes at one end. The other end is connected to a short piece that extends downward and then splits into two curved prongs. A star-shaped wheel with six points is attached to the short piece. The star-shaped wheel has a circular center and six radiating points. The background of the image is a solid gray color.
