Pair of Stirrups

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of stirrups. The stirrups are made of metal, with a dark brown and gold color. They have a wide base that tapers up to a narrower piece of metal with a circular hole at the top. The base of each stirrup is flat and wide, with a slight curve upwards. The metal is thick and has a rough texture, with visible signs of wear and tear. The stirrup on the right has a more curved shape than the one on the left. The background is a plain gray color. The stirrups are placed side by side, with the one on the left positioned slightly behind the one on the right. The overall appearance suggests that the stirrups are old and have been used extensively. They are likely made by an artist.
