Medieval Spurs and Horseshoes - Szczecin NM

Salve,
returning to the Old Town Hall Museum in Szczecin, I would like to show you some spurs, stirrups, currycombs, horseshoes, and bits on display at the 1st floor of the museum.
Spurs




Currycombs



Horseshoes - last horseshoe is not a medieval one, but an early modern example.





Stirrups






Bits

Unfortunately there was no detailed depiction of these artefacts and therefore they shall remain  silent ones, unless one day I will be able to dig out some literature on them.
Enjoy

  1. Those Spurs are probably Gineta or Moorish /Arabic spurs for riding in the Gineta style. In Spanish they are called "Acicates"
