National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large ornate spur with intricate metalwork and a floral design on a round disk. The color palette includes earthy tones like browns and rust, with silver and subtle hints of gold. The spur is centered in the image, with the rowel extending to the right and chains hanging beneath it. The object is set against a plain, light-colored background with distress marks and flecks.
