These are something of an oddity. A pair of stirrups carefully carved from wood - probably Ash - and bound with a strip of brass. They are very well made, with careful dovetail joints underneath and a strip of wood let into the inside of the arch on top. Over time they have acquired a few woodworm holes (14 to be precise) and two splits in the top of one stirrup, although it is still quite sound. I have seen one other pair of similar wood and brass stirrups - did they come from a place or time where steel or the skills to forge it were in short supply? Dimensions 7" (175mm) x 7" (175mm) x 2¼" (60mm) each Weight of pair - 1lb 6oz (626g)
