Old Metal Stirrup?
I don't know much about this type of thing. It was for sale as part of the estate of a well traveled gentleman. Can anyone help me age, location, type of use, scarcity, etc? TIA.

PS Yet you are right; this one appears to be Ottoman, for the case .. Last edited by fernando; 16th November 2018 at 10:47 AM. |

... And by the way
Versions with the front closed were also seen in Portuguese stirrups, and still are used nowadays.
Cross culture between both (Iberian) countries and versions timeline to be considered. . |

Well it was a good guess based on a past encounter with a very similar item.
