Stirrup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork titled "Stirrup" by an unspecified artist features a weathered metal object. The object is circular and open, resembling a stirrup but with a more abstract form. The metal appears worn, with a rough texture and a predominantly gray coloration with hints of brown. The circular piece stands upright on a flat surface, casting a subtle shadow. The background of the image transitions from dark at the top to light gray towards the bottom.
