Decorative stirrups from turn-of-the-century Peru.  Highly stylized engraving on wooden front and one side of each stirrup.  Hand forged brass attachments.  Something not seen too often in America.  Would have been worn by wealthy Spanish land barons or used decoratively at festivals.  Purchased in a Lima, Peru antique shop.
