Catalogue Note
Stirrups and trappings made for a warrior or nobleman of the Tibetan plateau. The main structure is of wood with embellishment in the form of worked iron with applied gilding.
The form of this metal work is particularly rare since the metal dragons have been worked in a way so that they are free to move in relation to the movement of the horse. The textile saddle is from Russian Turkestan and postdates the metal work.
