Stirrup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a bronze stirrup. The stirrup has a wide base with two oval-shaped openings for the foot, the openings are facing to the sides. The base is connected to a stem with a bead-like design. The top of the stem has a decorative element with a flower-like pattern and a triangular protrusion. The entire piece appears to be made of bronze and has a greenish-brown patina, with some darker spots and discoloration visible on the surface. The background is grey and white.
