Pair of Stirrups

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image features a pair of stirrups. The stirrups are made of metal, likely silver or a silver-colored alloy, and have a dark patina. They are symmetrical with an arch shape at the top and a flat base that tapers outward. The top of each stirrup has a rope-like design on the sides of the arch and a decorative piece with a small loop at the top. The bottom of each stirrup is adorned with vertical lines and a fringe-like design featuring small circles. The stirrup on the right is angled to the right. The background is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
