IvoriesPair of Rowel Spurs ca. 1630-1660 possibly French or German This pair of spurs is decorated overall with a gold damascened grotesque decoration featuring motifs of a kind of organic strapwork style called Schweifwerk. This style, popular in the German and Dutch-speaking lands, as we see for example on the ornament prints made by the Dutch artist Esaias van Hulsen, was also practiced by some other artists in Europe, particularly in France, including the designs made by the French Jacques Hurtu and Etienne Carteron. In the first half of the 17th century, the fashion trend for gentlemen was to wear boots and spurs even non-riding circumstances, including for dancing or walking around at court. Spurs became then more than equestrian tools, but pieces of male jewelry often enriched by the same goldsmiths also working on armor and weapons. Their decoration was sometimes intended to match the sword hilt and the general outfit and horse tack of their owner. These trendy accessories were also aPrick Spur late 10th - early 11th century German Horses had great importance in Germanic cultures, in both social and religious aspects. Equestrian equipment, like stirrups, spurs and bits, are regularly found in their burials, among the goods warriors wanted to bring with them to the afterlife. The elite would sometimes even be accompanied by sacrificed horses, a meaningful practice at that time, considering the high economic value of horses.The prick spur was the first type of spur to be invented, and it consists of a goad or prick, more or less pointed, connected to side arms or a heel plate. The earliest spurs were probably simple thorns attached at the back of the heel, before they started to be made out of metal in antiquity. Prick spurs were the main type of spurs used in the Middle Ages until the mid-14th century, when they were supplanted by rowel spurs, which appeared in Europe a century before and with which they had cohabitated for a time.

(29.85 cm), Ivory with opaque color and silver fittings, India, Mughal dynasty (1526-1857), Ivory gunpowder flasks were popular luxury items in early modern South Asia (1400-1830). Meant to be used during hunting, a favorite pastime of the elite, these flasks were often carved with intertwining animals. Both ends terminate in leaping antelope heads, one showing a cheetah chasing a motley group of rabbits and antelopes (in some South Asian courts, cheetahs were raised in captivity and trained to hunt). The body of the flask depicts a cheetah and two hounds pursuing fish, birds, dogs, deer, and rabbits, with small touches of paint highlighting the animals eyes. Composite animals and scenes of predators pursuing prey were common subjects in painting, textiles, and decorative arts of the time.Pedreñal de pistola de rueda, siglo XVII.
