介绍（中）	这个令人印象深刻的马刺是16世纪下半叶和17世纪初制造的一组超大且装饰奢华的德国马刺的一部分，可能是在萨克森州制造的。此示例显示了一个巨大而奢华的八角赛艇，每个点本身都有一个小赛艇在17世纪，一些带有多排的马刺被用于特别困难的马匹。然而，出于这个原因，这似乎更像是一种装饰性的奢华特征，对于一双像珠宝一样佩戴的鞋来说，而不是真正的马术改进。自16世纪中期以来，德国就已经知道了这种多排马刺的例子。这些马刺的不切实际表明，它们可能只在游行和节日活动中使用，作为财富和地位的展示。树枝的宽度表明它们是穿在大型骑兵靴上的。
介绍（英）	This impressive spur is part of a group of oversized and lavishly decorated German spurs made in the second half of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century, probably in Saxony. This example displays a large and extravagant eight-pointed rowel, each of the points holding a small rowel itself. Some types of spurs with several rowels were used in the 17th century with particularly difficult horses. However, on this spur it seems to be more an ornamental luxurious feature, for a pair worn like a piece of jewelry, rather than a truly equestrian improvement. Such examples of multi-rowel spurs are known in Germany since the mid-16th century. The impracticality of these spurs indicate that they were probably only used during parade and festive events, as a display of wealth and status. The width of the branches suggests they were worn over large cavalry boots.
