Hussar Rowel Spur (Right)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal spur with a rowel at the end, featuring a star-shaped wheel with multiple points. The spur has a long neck and a curved band that would fit around a rider's boot. A smaller, more intricately designed piece is attached to the top of the band. The metal has a weathered appearance with visible signs of wear and tear. The background is a plain gray color. Hussar Rowel Spur (Right) by unknown artist.
