BRASS STIRRUPS 18TH C. HAND HAMMERED:
$160.00

Here is a pair of especially appealing hand hammered brass stirrups, likely South American 18th century. One weighs 1 lb. 13.8 oz. and the other weighs 1 lb.14.2 oz. When flicked with a fingernail at the back, one produces a pleasing ring at the pitch of C, and the other a C sharp! Thus, popular lore tells us they’re made from melted church bells.
L: 10”, H: 4 3/4”
