This rare pair of antique Japanese Samurai stirrups date to the mid Edo Period. The are inlaid with bits of abalone shell. The cut-out below the buckle appears to be the a representation of the trifold Asarum leaves, which was the mon of the Tokugawa shoguns. There is some loss of abalone shell and there is a crack in one of the foot pads. But they are a gorgeous example even with these condition issues. |
