Stirrup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Stirrup by Jaak Arro. A rusted metal stirrup with a textured surface. The stirrup is shaped like an upside-down U with a small square hole at the top. The metal appears to be weathered and corroded, with visible rust spots and rough edges. The stirrup is positioned on a plain gray surface with a darker background.
