Arrowheads made for use on the battlefield incorporated different designs intended for specialized purposes such as the piercing of armor or to cause maximum damage to horses and unarmored personnel.Large arrowheads, pierced and elaborately chiseled with landscapes, birds, flowers, dragons, and Buddhist divinities, were created to be admired for the beauty of their metalwork and design rather than for use in archery.

Instead of eliciting one pair of shanks (the levers on the sides of the bit to which the reins were attached), it has two, each one having a different effect on the horse. Pulling back the longest shanks with the reins would have an action on the purchase (the piece at the top of each cheekpiece), pressing on the sensitive poll area through the bridle attached to the bits eyes, and pressing on the chin with the curb chain (missing, would have originally from the hooks). The second pair of shanks would only have an action on the port, the U-shape central part of the mouthpiece. Pulling this second pair of reins would swing forward the elongated piece at the top, and roll it against the horses palate. The mouthpiece itself is harsh, its molded revolving cylinders being very sharp foArrowhead (Yanone) ca. 1615-1868 Japanese Although today Japanese warriors are renowned most for their swordsmanship, archery, especially from horseback, has been an essential part of samurai warfare and culture for centuries.

The varied assortment includes figures from the three traditional scenes of a complete Neapolitan presepio: the Nativity, with angels, shepherds, and sheep; the procession of the three Magi, with their colorful retinue of attendants; and the varied and gay crowd of country and town people thronging the tavern, or inn, of Bethlehem the diversorium mentioned by St. Luke, where on the Holy Night there was no place for Mary and Joseph. Averaging between twelve and fifteen inches in height, according to the position they were to take in perspective in the stage set, the figures are pliable and can be given poses at will, according to their facial expressions. Their bodies are made of tow and wire, their arms and legs are finely carved of wood, and their heads and shoulders are modeled of Curb Bit second half 17th century German The cheekpieces of this bit are adorned with a pierced decoration featuring hearts and friezes of stylized fleurs-de-lis running on the edge of the shanks. These shanks were called strong,’ meaning that the swivel ring’s hole is placed ahead of the axis of the banquet (piece to which the mouthpiece is attached). Strong shanks were used for lowering the head of a horse that would hold it too high. The mouthpiece, the curb chain and the rein rings hanging at the bottom of the lower loops are modern. The pierced decoration of this bit, giving a lace-like aspect to the metal, is typical of the decoration used by the spur makers in South East of Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries. Despite their name, spur makers not only made spurs, but also other small equestrian hardware like bits, stirrups, muzzles, cavessons or curry-combs, sometimes adorned with the same intricate decoration..

Steel ; diameter: 7.2 cm (2 13/16 in.); overall: 9.5 cm (3 3/4 in.). Instead of a "prick" terminus at the neck, the rowel spur had a rotating wheel installed between two prongs. This type of spur gradually supplemented the prick spur as a safer and less severe alternative for the horse. Rowel spurs first appeared during the 1200s and were in general use by the 1300s.ESCULTURA DESPIEZABLE. Author: MIGUEL BERROCAL (1933-2006). Location: GALERIA SEN. MADRID.

The necks of these spurs are decorated with what looks like a canid on a leaf, possibly a gray fox, the only American canid that can climb trees. They hold pierced rowels shaped as a flowers. The heel bands are chiseled on the sides as waving branches inlaid with silver. An engraved and pierced foliate design adorns the terminals, of which the bottom slots attached a heel chain, an element disappearing from later examples, only featuring attaches for an upper strap. If the animal in relief is still a typical 18th century decoration, the general shape of these spurs is already close to the types developed and appreciated in the 19th century.Charros were originally land, horse and cattle owners who had an high social and economical status.

MADRID. SPAIN.Prick Spur 2nd-3rd century Germanic This exceptional spur has features in common with Germanic and Gallo-Roman examples from around the 3rd century. However its size and width make it very unusual, as spurs from this period are normally very small. The spur was secured to the foot by the means of straps attached to the side buttons and to the small hook shaped as a small stylized horses head.The state of preservation and the partially removed black patina indicate that it may have been found in a humid context with a low level of oxygen, like a bog, preserving the metal from rust. In this case this spur would have probably been thrown there as an offering. Germanic populations regularly offered sacrifices of military and equestrian objects (including war booties) to their gods in this way after a successful battle.. Prick Spur.
