Persian Stirrups?

Hi Erik & Dom

Thought you might be interested to see these...I believe them to be from the Sahel region, so maybe Hausa or Fulani etc ?

Do you know of any reference material on stirrups/horse equipment apart from Stone's Glossary ?

Regards
Colin

I have had a quick look on the internet for arab stirrups.
The ones I have seem to be a bit more "luxury" than most.

The hanging part is a bit more decorated.
Also the corner parts do not seem to be standard.
And of course the inlay which to me seems quite simple but well done.

However this does not date them for me nor places them in a specific region yet.

keep cool ... man, and drink fresh

they will not runaway

- pics (2) for egyptian stirrups model,
are, what I bought 20 years ago, in a bedawi shop
1 of pic, it's not mine, because that pair is in Egypt, and I don't have a pic
but, exactly the same; cast metal, bronze (?)

- other pics are from a book (with me

)
" l'Art des Chevaliers en Pays d'Islam "
collection de la Furussiyya Art Foundation
Institu du Monde Arabe - Paris - France

all pictures have a legend, and I think you will have matter of reflexion

A very similar pair. These stirrups are somewhat generic in the ottoman influence as mentioned.
