Stirrup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal object resembling a stirrup, made of textured silver-colored material with a rough, uneven surface. The object has a wide base that tapers up to form two curved arms, which meet at the top but do not connect, creating an open-ended loop. The base is thick and flat with a slight lip around the edge. The background is dark gray, gradually lightening towards the bottom.
