Late 19th Century Pair of Antique Chinese Soldiers Stirrups

Description

Very nice antique pair of Chinese horse riding stirrups, well aged and patinated...dating to the Qing Dynasty.
The lack of ornamentation indicates that this pair was used (owned) by a low status horse soldier of the Chinese army.
Some credit the Mongols/Chinese with the invention of the stirrup...either way, most horses were used by soldier for war.
