Stirrups (<i>Abumi</i>)

Ujiyoshi

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal stirrups with an etched design and twisted metal handles. The stirrups are made of a dark silver-colored metal and are decorated with an intricate design featuring waves and boats. They have a wide, flat base and a curved side that comes up to form the stirrup's body. The stirrups are symmetrical and identical, with the same design on both. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The stirrups are titled "Stirrups (Abumi)" by Ujiyoshi.
