Úbeda, Jaén province, Andalusia, Spain.Pair of Stirrups late 16th century - early 17th century Spanish The general features of these stirrups, as well as their pierced decoration, are inspired from 16th-century German types, imported to Spain through the regular artistic and trading exchanges between these regions due to their dynastic relationships. However, the large footplates and wide flaring sides are typically Spanish, and are inspired from genette type stirrups, particularly popular in Spain. Genette, or jineta, stirrups are typical of the Islamic world, and were widely used in the Ottoman empire at the same time. They were introduced to Europe during the Arab presence in Spain, and then kept by the Spaniards for their light cavalry. This type of Spanish stirrups was brought to New World during the Spanish conquest, as Latin American examples inspired from them were then made in Chile (see 42.50.454-455).. Pair of Stirrups.

The helmet was made for a Sikh warrior and is a type that might have been worn by soldiers in the armies of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. It can be identified as specifically Sikh because it has a raised area on top of the skull to accommodate the topknot of uncut hair.

In Brazil you can find the same kind of footcuffs on former plantations and they are called troncoes. However, this buoy was found in Zeeland. The foot block consists of two oak beams that are internally connected to each other on one side by a wrought -iron flat pin, so that the two beams can hinges and on the other hand connected internally by two wrought iron rings. There are nine recesses in both beams, which - if the beams rest on each other - are meant to clamp the ankles. This also happens with the chain that is attached to the foot block and to which six separate hand or ankle cuffs can be attached.

The Han Dynasty was an imperial dynasty that ruled during a golden age in Chinese history and has influenced the identity of Chinese civilisation ever since. First established by Emperor Gao (Liu Bang), it was briefly usurped by the Xin Dynasty (9-23 CE), so is separated into two periods: the Western Han (202 BCE - 9 CE) and the Eastern Han (25-220 CE). Porcelain and ceramics were made in great quantities during the Han Dynasty years, with developments in new techniques and artforms leading to more decorative types of pottery and earthenware. Tomb figures became popular across Han society, as well as model houses and figurines of farm animals.Showcase with silver objects, including candlesticks, funeral shields and a bowl; Vitters crafts.
