Stirrup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The object is a stirrup by artist David H. Stern. The stirrup is made of metal and has a weathered appearance with visible rust and corrosion. The stirrup has an arched body with two curved sides that are rough and textured. The top of the stirrup has two small protrusions on either side, which are also rough and textured. The bottom of the stirrup has a flat, wide base with two small feet on either side. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the stirrup. The stirrup appears to be an old, worn-out piece of equipment. It has a rough, distressed look. The metal is dark gray and brown in color. The object has a three-dimensional shape. The image shows the object from a slightly angled front view.
