A wonderful large antique brass stirrup.  This was a ceremonial stirrup for Spanish, Peruvian, and South American  Conquistador-style riders.    A leather strap would loop onto the bar on top, which could easily be replaced with a lighter-weight stirrup for serious riding.   This stirrup is very decorative on each side.  These would have been too heavy to use as a standard stirrup.  Solid brass. 8 1/2" long to the point where the toe turns up X 4 " wide at the opening inside.    Great for display or a bookend or door stop.  
These brass stirrups or tapaderos copy the shape and decoration of a traditional leather boot worn by the early Spanish Conquistadors.  The high quality of the metal casting is a direct inheritance of the metalworking skills displayed by Peruvian native populations before the conquest.
There is only one.
