Stirrup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture "Stirrup" by artist Ruth Bernhard is a silver-colored object with a triangular shape. The object has a wide base that tapers to a point at the top, forming an arch. The surface appears to have a textured, rough appearance with many small bumps and ridges. The object is standing upright on its base. The background is dark gray, transitioning to light gray at the bottom.
