Pair of Stirrups

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pair of stirrups by artist unknown. Two metal stirrups, one on the left with a solid base and one on the right with a fluted base and cutout design. Both have a decorative top with a small oval hole. The stirrup on the left is plain with a rounded base. The stirrup on the right has a fan-shaped base with vertical ridges and a four-leaf clover design cut out near the top. Both stirrups are made of metal with a dark patina. The background is a plain gray color.
