介绍（中）	这对马刺的跟带上装饰着铜镶嵌物和穿孔的植物卷轴，可能是18世纪下半叶为墨西哥牛仔制作的。它们仍然保留了本世纪早期制造的马刺的一些特征，如弯曲的颈部和众多细长的赛艇尖，但它们的比例和鞋跟带的风格已经接近18世纪末和19世纪发展起来的类型。端子底部的滚轮用于连接鞋跟链，这是后来的例子中缺少的一个元素，该元素仅以连接鞋面束带为特色。每个马鞭外侧的环最初都有一个叮当作响的波波头，当佩戴者走路或将马刺推到马的侧翼时，一个小吊坠会在马鞭上叮当作响 Charros最初是土地、马和牛的所有者，具有较高的社会和经济地位。他们会在仪式和节日期间见面，并通过被称为charrería的各种牛仔竞技游戏来展示他们的技能查罗斯和charrería仍然是墨西哥传统文化的重要组成部分。在这些节日活动中，charros可以展示装饰华丽的马钉和马刺，后者是他们文化的主要象征之一。
介绍（英）	This pair of spurs, with heel bands decorated with copper inlays and pierced vegetal scrolls, was made for a Mexican charro (a Mexican cowboy) probably in the second half of the 18th century. They still retain some of the characteristics of the spurs made in the earlier part of the century, like the curved neck and the numerous and slender points of the rowel, but their proportions and the style of the heel band are already close to the types developed at the end of the 18th and in the 19th century. The rollers at the bottom of the terminals were for attaching a heel chain, an element missing from later examples, which only featured attachements for an upper strap. The loop on the external side of each rowel originally held a jingle bob, a small pendant jingling against the rowel when the wearer walks or rolls the spurs against the horse’s flanks. Charros were originally land, horse, and cattle owners who had a high social and economic status. They would meet during ceremonies and festivals and demonstrate their skills through several varieties of rodeo games called charrería. Charros and charrería remain important parts of Mexican traditional culture. During these festive events, charros could display splendidly decorated horse tack and spurs, the latter being one of the primary symbols of their culture.
