Stirrup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a metal object. The object titled "Stirrup" by an unknown artist is a metal stirrup with a rectangular top and a curved footrest. The stirrup has a dark gray color with lighter gray speckles throughout. The rectangular top has a horizontal oval cutout in the center. Two long, thin metal pieces extend from the top, curving downward to form the sides of the stirrup. The sides are connected by a curved piece at the bottom, forming the footrest. The background of the image is a light gray color. The object casts a small shadow on the surface below it.
