Pair of Stirrups
Not on view
The purpose of the asymmetrical shape of these stirrups was to better accommodate the foot and to give the rider more comfort and stability.
Each is adorned on its external side with pierced gothic ‘windows’ decoration typical of Bohemian ironwork. This type of ornament is also found on the equestrian equipment made in nearby regions, especially Austria and Bavaria.
