介绍（中）	这对极具装饰性的马刺被凿刻并穿孔几何图案，每个物体都有三个花形的穿孔罗尔。某些类型的马刺带有几个罗尔，有时在 17 世纪用于特别困难的马。然而，在这双鞋上，它似乎更像是一种装饰性的奢华特征，对于一双像一件珠宝一样佩戴的鞋子来说，而不是真正的马术改进。例如，每个马刺的外排没有功能，因为它永远不会接触马的侧翼。自16世纪中叶以来，这种马刺在德国就广为人知。这种凿刻和穿孔的装饰在 16 世纪和 17 世纪被德国东部的马刺制造商使用。尽管它们的名字，马刺制造商不仅制造马刺，还制造所有小型马术硬件，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。
介绍（英）	This very ornamental pair of spurs is chiseled and pierced with geometrical motifs, and each object features three flower-shaped pierced rowels. Some types of spurs with several rowels were sometimes used in the 17th century with particularly difficult horses. However, on this pair it seems to be more an ornamental luxurious feature, for a pair worn like a piece of jewelry, than a truly equestrian improvement. For example, the outer rowel of each spur is without function since it would never touch the horse's flank. Such spurs are known in Germany since the mid-16th century. This type of chiseled and pierced decoration was used by the spur makers in eastern Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries. Despite their name, spur makers not only made spurs, but also all the small equestrian hardware like bits, stirrups, muzzles, cavessons or curry-combs, sometimes adorned with the same intricate decoration.
