Pair of Stirrups

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pair of Stirrups by artist not specified, depicts two old, black, metal stirrups with straps. Stirrups are made of metal and have a worn, dirty appearance. They are black with a slight sheen. Each stirrup has a wide, flat base and two curved arms that rise up to form a U-shape. Straps are made of a worn, dark brown leather or synthetic material. They are attached to the stirrups with metal buckles and have a red plastic or rubber piece at the end. One stirrup has a small, rectangular tag attached to it with a string. Background is white, suggesting a product photo.
