Matched Pair of 19th C. Persian / Mughal Brass Stirrups
Central Asia, Iran to Northern India, Mughal or Indo-Persian, ca. 19th century CE. This is a fine matched pair of antique brass riding stirrups with ornamental rings and 2 bells under the foot treads. Both are a hemispherical shape with an arched shank that is decorated by a central raised ridge, beading along the edges, and the top center contains a rectangle loop for the saddle straps. The foot tread plate is flat with loops welded underneath, which all perhaps contained additional bells at one time. Size of each (both are relatively similar): 6" L x 1" W x 4.75" H (15.2 cm x 2.5 cm x 12.1 cm)
Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
