Pair of Stirrups

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pair of Stirrups by Artist. Two metal stirrups, made of bronze or brass, exhibiting a brown patina. The stirrup on the left is more rectangular in shape with a flat base and sides of equal height. The stirrup on the right is wider at the bottom and tapers towards the top. Both stirrups have a diamond-shaped handle at the top and feature a sunburst pattern on the base. The stirrup on the right has additional decorative etchings on the sides and front. The background is a plain gray surface with a darker gray gradient at the top.
