The stirrup on the left has curved sides with rope-like texture, a decorative top with curled ends, and a wide base with engraved designs and the letters "AN NO". Three short legs are visible. The stirrup on the right has similar curved sides with rope-like texture and a decorative top, but with a more open design on the side. Its base is also engraved with designs. The background is a gradient from dark gray to light gray.
