This stunning pair of stirrups is without equal in terms of style, form, and construction. In particular, the combination of high relief, pierced work, and deep chiseling of the iron, highlighted by the lavish use of gold and silver, are unmatched on any other known pair of stirrups from Tibet, China, or Mongolia.
