AI-assisted summary

These are Chinese bronze stirrups (马镫, Mǎdèng), one of the most historically significant military and equestrian artifacts in Chinese history.
This is a pair of ceremonial/decorative bronze stirrups — evident in the rich ornamentation that functional military stirrups rarely had.
The D-shaped arch with a broad oval footplate is characteristic of Ming- and Qing-dynasty stirrup designs.
The stirrup was invented in China and changed world history by revolutionizing cavalry.
This item can be shipped together with other items of mine in this auction so that you only pay the shipping costs once.
