介绍（中）	这一部分可能用于盛装舞步或休闲骑行，但没有吹口，完全用凿穿的植物和几何图案装饰，这是16世纪和17世纪德国东南部马刺制造商使用的典型装饰。尽管名字如此，马刺制造商不仅制作马刺，还制作小型马术硬件，如钻头、马镫、枪口、洞穴或咖喱梳，有时还装饰着同样复杂的装饰这件物品的两面都印有慕尼黑的控制标志：一个高举双臂的僧侣，这是城市的纹章装置。城市的控制标志在铁制马术设备上很少见，慕尼黑似乎是17世纪唯一一个需要这种做法的城市，这在当代的马镫上也有记录（例如13.104）。宴会，即连接吹口的颧骨部分，本可以打开以关闭吹口，这一特点在德国的盛装舞步中尤为受欢迎。
介绍（英）	Probably used for dressage or leisure riding, this bit, of which the mouthpiece is missing, is entirely adorned with chiseled and pierced vegetal and geometrical motifs, typical of the decoration used by the spur makers in the south east of Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries. Despite their name, spur makers were not only made spurs, but also small equestrian hardware like bits, stirrups, muzzles, cavessons or curry-combs, sometimes adorned with the same intricate decoration. The object is stamped on both sides with the control mark of Munich: a monk with upraised arms, the city’s heraldic device. Cities’ control marks are rare on iron equestrian equipment, and Munich seems to be the only one in the 17th century to require this practice, which is also documented on contemporary stirrups (see for example 13.104). The banquets, the parts of the cheekpieces where the mouthpiece is attached, could have been opened to switch out the mouthpiece, a feature particularly appreciated on dressage bits in Germany.
