Spur

James Dwyer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a metallic spur. The piece is displayed prominently at the center. It features a rowel with multiple sharp points extending outward, a neck that extends from the heel band to connect with the rowel, and a curved heel band designed to attach to a boot. On the heel band's ends, decorative elements add a touch of intricacy. The overall texture appears to be that of a well-worn metal.
