Spur

Bertha Semple

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a single ornate spur with intricate detailing and a large star-shaped rowel. The color palette consists mainly of metallic gold and silver tones, accented by hints of brown and a metallic sheen reflecting the light. Positioned centrally on a plain, light-colored background, the spur stretches horizontally across the frame, with the wider part to the left and the rowel extending to the right.
