Pair of Stirrups

Netherlandish

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 373

This kind of stirrup, evolved from 16th-century German types, also became very popular in several other European countries in the first half of 17th century. The horseshoe shape, however, came back into fashion in the northern part of Europe around the 1650s.
