Spur

Eldon Allen

National Gallery of Art

A dark brown leather spur with an ornate design and large metallic rowel wheel is centered in the image. The color palette consists mainly of browns from the leather and dark metallic tones from the metal components, with some silver where star-shaped decorations are visible. Positioned horizontally across from the view, the leather strap arches from the left, connected to the metallic elements that extend towards the right, ending in the spiked rowel.
