Spur

Rose Campbell-Gerke

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a single ornate spur, the largest object in the image, centered on a beige background. The spur is primarily golden with intricate engravings and black elements, including the rowel. The text "MEXICAN SPUR 17TH CENTURY" is located slightly below the spur, off-center to the left. The color palette consists of light beige, golden brown, and black against the plain background. The spur is centrally positioned in the frame, with no other objects around it.
