Stirrup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal stirrup with a rectangular top and a curved, teardrop-shaped body. Two curved arms extend from the bottom of the teardrop shape, ending in feet. The metal appears heavily corroded and weathered, with a rough surface. The background is a plain gray color, with a slight shadow cast by the stirrup. The stirrup by artist Stirrup.
