Pair of Rowel Spurs second half 16th century German This pair of spurs is an ironwork masterpiece. They are entirely adorned with geometrical and vegetal chiseled and pierced decoration, giving them a rich and sculptural aspect. They were certainly worn and kept as pieces of jewelry as much as being used as practical equestrian objects.This type of chiseled and pierced decoration was used by the spur makers in eastern Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries. Despite their name, spur makers not only made spurs, but also all the small equestrian hardware like bits, stirrups, muzzles, cavessons or curry-combs, sometimes adorned with the same intricate decoration..

The outer side of the heel band, on the left, is carved with a pierced diamond-shaped niche in which an animal is seated, maybe a monkey, holding a fruit in its front hands.While the pierced decoration has been influenced by the importation, via Spain, of horse equipment made in Southern Germany in the 16th and 17th century, as well as by Chinese textiles, 18th-century Mexican spurs like this example, in addition to bits and stirrups, often feature native designs and animals, such as birds, dogs and monkeys.Although less impressive and impractical than some oversized contemporary examples, this well- adorned spur and its lost mate would have probably been used during ceremonies and festivals as a mark of status, thereby revealing the importance of horses in traditional Mexican society..

The severe curb chain, with its serrated links, was used on horses with hard chins’ (too fleshy or too hairy). This kind of bit, with its engraved, pierced and chiseled ornamentation, is a very common type of German 17th-century bit, found in many collections.

Nathaniel Marchant had already treated this composition in an intaglio carved for Lavinia, Countess Spencer (private collection, United Kingdom), but Pistrucci added an original flourish of drapery. One might understandably interpret the subject as Leda and the swan had not Marchant identified it as the nymph in Ariostos Orlando Furioso who accepts tablets bearing the names of deceased worthies from a fleet of swans (hence the disklike object proffered by the swan).
