Pair of Stirrups

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of stirrups. The stirrup on the left is gold-colored and has a circular frame with a shell-shaped top. The stirrup's base has a flat, wide piece with several vertical oval indentations. The stirrup on the right is also gold-colored. It has a more complex design, with a narrow top that has a small hole and a curved, elongated body that tapers towards the bottom. Both stirrups appear to be made of metal and have a worn, aged appearance. The background is a plain gray color.
