Prick Spur

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark brown, rusty metal object. The object has a long handle on the left with a cylindrical shape that tapers to a narrower end. A thick, curved piece of metal connects to the handle and bends to form a wide, U-shaped piece. This U-shaped piece tapers at both ends. The end on the right is flat with two rivet holes. The end on the bottom curves into a ball shape. The object sits on a gray background. The object is titled "Prick Spur" by an unknown artist.
