Stirrup
Not on view
The form of this stirrup, with its peaked arch and rounded bottom corners, is distinctively Tibetan, as opposed to the more typical styles that were derived from Mongolia and China. The design damasened in silver in the center of the pierced tread represents the Wheel of Law, a symbol frequently found on Tibetan objects.
