Hi Gene,

It looks like a very fine spurs from Amozoc, in the State of Puebla, Mexico. Usually, the inlaids are made with silver. Search on the internet for "espuelas de Amozoc" (spurs from Amozoc). You will get additional info.
Regards

PD: There are not many countries in America with a "cowboy" tradition. Only those who were herders in an important measure, like Argentina, Uruguay and Mexico. The cowboy tradition from the USA originated in Mexico, mainly on those states taken from our country, like Texas, Colorado and Nuevo Mexico.
