Two silver-colored rowel spurs, Pair of Rowel Spurs, one lying above the other on a gray background. The spurs have a long, curved neck with a twisted rope-like design and a rowel at the end. The rowels are round with pointed projections. The top of each spur has a decorative piece with a floral design and a small loop at the end. The spurs are made of metal, likely silver or a silver alloy, and have a ornate, filigree-like design. The top spur's rowel is slightly smaller than the bottom one. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
