拍品描述
A PAIR OF SILVER-INLAID IRON STIRRUPS, YOB CHA, 17TH-18TH CENTURY

Tibet. Heavily cast, the bases of oval form with a shallow recess rising to vertical arches with an oval aperture at the top for suspension from the saddle. The exterior worked with silver-wire inlays depicting a key-fret band and a wan ground enclosing auspicious Buddhist emblems including the Dharma wheel, lotus blossom, and parasol.

Provenance: Viennese private collection, acquired in the French antiques market.
Condition: Good condition with wear, signs of weathering and corrosion, casting irregularities, small nicks, and rubbing to the silver inlays.

Weight: 1,106 g and 1,112.5 g
Dimensions: Height 15.3 cm and 16.1 cm

Stirrups of this type continued to be used in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa into the 1940s and 1950s as a part of festivals and religious ceremonies when calvary were brought in for processional parades. The armor worn by the calvary was standardized by the central government of Tibet from the mid-seventeenth or eighteenth century onward. Their armor included a helmet, shirt of mail, set of four mirrors, armored belt, bow case and quiver, matchlock musket, bandoleer with gunpowder and bullets, and short spear for the rider, as well as a saddle, saddle rug, and tack for the horse. Armed and equipped in a similar fashion, Tibetan government officials periodically were required to demonstrate proficiency on horseback with musket, bow and arrow, and spear until as late as the mid-twentieth century.
