    These bronze stirrups from 10th-12th century Afghanistan have rectangular foot rests with pierced sides and dragonhead terminals on the arching straps. The strap loops have birds on either side. They are almost identical to another example from the Sarre Collection and were likely made by the same craftsman. The stirrups were probably produced during the Ghaznavid period in Afghanistan, when that region was ruled by the Persianized Ghaznavid dynasty from 975 to 1187 AD.

    STIRRUPS
    10th / 12th Century
    Afeghanistan
    Bronze
    Lenght: 14.5 cm
    Bronze stirrups with rectangular foot rest. The sides are pierced with holes and the arching straps have dragonhead terminals. The strap loops have birds on either side.
    These stirrups are almost identical to an example previously held in the Sarre Collection and perfectly identical to
    the ones held in the N.D. Khalili collection, and must have been made by the same craftsman.
    This stirrups were probably produced in the Afeghanistan in the Ghaznavid period (The Ghaznavids - Persian - were
    a Persianate Muslim dynasty of Turkic slave origin which existed from 975 to 1187 and ruled much of Persia,
    Transoxania, and the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent. The Ghaznavid state was centered in Ghazni, a city
    in modern-day Afghanistan. Due to the political and cultural influence of their predecessors - that of the Persian
    Samanid Empire - the originally Turkic Ghaznavids had become thoroughly Persianized).
