"Pair Of Silver Spurs, Probably Hispano-american (mexico), 19th "
Crafted in finely worked silver, the spurs display an arched body with flat section, engraved with vegetal and floral motifs. The neck, richly decorated with leaf designs, supports a large toothed rowel, a distinctive feature of South American equestrian tradition. The rear straps are enhanced with circular medallions in relief and chains with alternating links combined with small leather tubular elements.
The refined chiselling and elaborate decoration reveal that these spurs were not only functional riding tools but also true symbols of status and prestige, associated with the ceremonial and equestrian culture of the Hispano-American rancheros and horsemen.
