Stirrup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal stirrup. The stirrup is open, roughly a U shape with one end wider than the other. The top of the stirrup is flat and slightly indented with a flat rectangular area in the center. The metal is textured on the surface. The stirrup is sitting on a plain surface with a shadow cast to the bottom right. The background fades from dark to light gray. The image appears to be a product photo. The stirrup and image are titled "Stirrup".
