Rowel Spur

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Rowel Spur by Frederic Remington features a rusty metal spur with a rowel and a neck. The rowel has a central circle and eight points extending from it. The spur has a long neck with a rounded end that connects to the rowel. A small triangular-shaped plate extends down from the neck. The entire spur is made of dark brown, rusted metal. The background is a plain gray color.
