Pair of Stirrups

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pair of Stirrups. Metal stirrups made of silver or a silver-colored metal. The stirrups have a wide base that tapers to a narrower top. The metal is textured with small bumps and ridges all over. The stirrups are empty and not attached to anything. The background is dark gray, getting lighter towards the bottom. The stirrups cast a shadow on the surface below. The image shows one stirrup.
