Pair of Stirrups

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of stirrups, titled "Pair of Stirrups". The stirrups are made of metal and have a gold-colored finish with an etched floral design. They have a wide base that tapers to a narrower top. The base of the left stirrup is flat and square-shaped with a flower etched in the center, and the base of the right stirrup is wide and curved. Both stirrups have a handle at the top. The background is a gradient gray color, with the stirrups casting a slight shadow on the surface below them. The stirrups are positioned side by side, with the left one facing forward and the right one angled slightly to the side. The overall appearance suggests they are old and possibly antique.
