Pair of Rowel Spurs by an unknown artist. Two silver spurs with a rowel and a neck. The neck features a ball and a chain. The rowel is a star-shaped wheel with pointed ends. The spurs have a buckle and appear to be made of metal, likely silver. The background is a solid gray color. The spurs are positioned on their sides, with one spur above the other. Three points of one of the rowels are visible.
