John Ennis’ lady’s spurs reflect the Spanish Colonial period of California from 1780 to the 1840. The outside heel bands have opposing “C” scrolls and are inlaid with fine silver while the inside heel bands have a twisted rope motif. The steel spurs are fully engraved, have a highly polished nitre blue finish and both sides of the spur shanks are inlaid with silver. Additional features are filigreed external buttons, fluted internal buttons and filigreed steel finials on the inside and outside, complemented with bands of inlaid sterling silver.

The sculpted steel heel bands and drop shanks are hand-engraved in patterns reminiscent of craftsmanship created for the courts of colonial Spain. Filigreed hangers and faceted jingle bobs accompany 24-point rowels 2-inches in diameter.
