These are a cool pair of stirrups. Dark leather that is really nice, with someone getting crafty and setting a large silver plate on the outside to make the perfect show stirrup. The silver appears to be either Alpaca or German Silver, likely not sterling, but its possible. We have not tested these. These are hand made, but are nice, plate is set into the foot bed and there is a teeny bit of wear at that point. Measurements: 3″ top, 4 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ foot bed.
