Rowel Spur
Not on view
This very peculiar type of spur was produced in Germany around the year 1600. The shape of the branches, with their triangular heel, is very archaic, and recalls Medieval examples. However, the style of decoration of this spur looks slightly different from the regular German production and might have been made in Spain, where a lot of equestrian material was at this time influenced by German and Netherlandish works.
