介绍（中）	这根镀金马刺的山羊（尖端）形状像一朵花，它的身体上装饰着几何雕刻的装饰，在左分支上比在脚内侧更简单。不对称的树枝设计为骑手提供了更多的舒适感刺突是第一种被发明的刺突，它由或多或少尖锐的山羊胡子或刺组成，连接到侧臂或足跟板上。刺马刺是中世纪使用的主要马刺类型，直到14世纪中叶，它们才被一个世纪前出现在欧洲的罗纹马刺所取代。由于骑士的地位与他的马密切相关，马刺成为骑士精神的象征之一，也是他被封为骑士期间的象征之一。
介绍（英）	The goad (point) of this gilded spur is shaped as a flower, and its body decorated with a geometrical incised decoration, simpler on the left branch as it would have been on the inside of the foot. The asymmetrical branches were designed to offer more comfort to the rider. 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. 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. As a knight’s status was closely related to his horse, spurs became one of the symbols of chivalry, and one of the tokens given to him during his knighting.
