Pair of Rowel Spurs
Not on view
These spurs, originally gilded, are entirely chased with crescents facing up and down alternately. Large pierced foliate buckles are attached on the outer side of each spur.
The points of the rowel were originally longer, sharper and more slender, as revealed by the size of the rowel box, a feature observed on other contemporary examples. The points have been intentionally blunted, maybe to suit a secondary owner.
