Pair of Stirrups
Not on view
These stirrups, due to their small size, may have been made for a child. The brass foil covering the iron, when new, would have given them a shiny golden aspect.
Still recalling the shape of the examples made throughout all the 15th century, they are typical of the stirrups made in eastern Germany and Austria. The scale motif at the top is inspired by the decoration found on late Medieval Bohemian spurs and stirrups.
