Rowel Spur 16th century Hungarian This type of spur, with its large and impressive rowel, was popular among Hungarians in the 16th century. Its general shape is an evolution of late medieval spurs. The proportions of the rowel, rather impractical, mostly served the purpose of showing off the high social status of the rider. The buckle attached to one of the dragon’s head-shaped terminals does not originally belong to this Rowel Spur. Hungarian. 16th century. Iron alloy. Equestrian Equipment-Spurs
