Pair of Stirrups

Pair of Stirrups. Culture: Tibetan or Mongolian. Dimensions: Stirrup (a); H. 5 7/8 in. (14.9 cm); W. 5 7/8 in. (14.9 cm); D. 3 1/4 in. (8.3 cm); Wt. 1 lb. 3.6 oz. (555.7 g); stirrup (b); H. 6 in. (15.2 cm); W. 6 in. (15.2 cm); D. 3 1/4 in. (8.3 cm); Wt. 1 lb. 2.5 oz. (524.5 g). Date: 15th-17th century. The unusual, possibly unique, combination of horn and iron as well as the superior quality of the high-relief chiseling of the dragonheads, and the extensive use of gold and particularly silver damascening over their iron surfaces set these stirrups apart. The plainness of the tread plates, however, and the sturdy construction overall show that they were intended for rigorous use.
