Prick Spur

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rusted metal object. The object is Y-shaped with a point on one end. The point is triangular and slightly bent to the side. A short, ridged section extends from the point, then the metal curves into two prongs. The prongs are long and curved, with a slight bend in the middle. The ends of the prongs are square and flat. The metal is dark brown and covered in rust spots. The background is a plain gray surface. The object titled "Prick Spur", by its design appears to be an older piece of horse riding equipment.
