A FINE PAIR OF MOTHER-OF-PEARL-INLAID LACQUERED IRON STIRRUPS (ABUMI)Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Of typical form, the exteriors finely lacquered in roiro and intricately inlaid with aogai (abalone shell) to create a dense foliate diapered ground. The buckles at the top are similarly decorated with movable tangs. The interior lacquered in nashiji.SIZE 24 x 21.2 cm (each)WEIGHT 1,151 and 1,178 gCondition: Very good condition with old wear. Minuscule nicks, light scratches, and minor losses to the inlays. The lacquer with expected age cracks and some losses, all as visible in the images provided.Abumi (stirrups) were used in Japan as early as the 5th century, and were a necessary component along with the Japanese saddle (kura) for the use of horses in warfare. Abumi became the type of stirrup used by the samurai class of feudal Japan.The military version of this open-sided stirrup, called the shitanaga abumi, was in use by the middle Heian period. It was thinner, had a deeper toe pocket and an even longer and flatter foot shelf. It is not known why the Japanese developed this unique style of stirrup, but this stirrup stayed in use until European style-stirrups were introduced in the late 19th century. The abumi had a distinctive swan-like shape, curved up and backward at the front so as to bring the loop for the leather strap over the instep and achieve a correct balance. Most of the surviving specimens from this period are made entirely of iron, inlaid with designs of silver or other materials, and covered with lacquer.Museum comparison:Compare a closely related mother-of-pearl-inlaid stirrups (abumi), dated late 16th-early 17th century in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 2008.120.1, .2.
