介绍（中）	这对马刺可能是在18世纪下半叶为墨西哥牛仔制作的。这些马刺的脖子上装饰着一种看起来像树叶上的犬科动物，可能是一只灰狐狸，这是唯一一种会爬树的美国犬科动物。他们手里拿着形状像花的穿孔的花排。两侧的跟带被凿成波浪状的树枝，上面镶嵌着银色。端子上装饰着雕刻和穿孔的叶理设计，其底部插槽连接着跟链，这一元素从后来的例子中消失了，只提供了上部束带的连接。如果浮雕中的动物仍然是18世纪的典型装饰，那么这些马刺的总体形状已经接近19世纪发展起来的类型 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 was made for a Mexican charro (a Mexican cowboy) probably in the second half of the 18th century. The necks of these spurs are decorated with what looks like a canid on a leaf, possibly a gray fox, the only American canid that can climb trees. They hold pierced rowels shaped as flowers. The heel bands are chiseled on the sides as waving branches inlaid with silver. An engraved and pierced foliate design adorns the terminals, of which the bottom slots attached a heel chain, an element disappearing from later examples, only featuring attachements for an upper strap. If the animal in relief is still a typical 18th century decoration, the general shape of these spurs is already close to the types developed in the 19th century. 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.
