Pair of Stirrups (Abumi)

Pair of Stirrups (Abumi). Culture: Japanese. Dimensions: L. of each 11 3/4 in (29.8 cm); H. of each 10 3/8 in. (26.5 cm); W. of each 4 7/8 in. (12.5 cm). Date: late 16th-early 17th century. Stirrups decorated with mother-of-pearl are rare, and this pair is perhaps the finest surviving example. Prominently placed on the front of each stirrup is a <i>mon</i> (heraldic emblem) consisting of three hollyhock leaves in a circle signifying the ownership of the Tokugawa family, which held the office of <i>shogun</i> (supreme military commander of Japan) from 1603 to 1868. At the time these stirrups were made, luxurious objects displaying the Tokugawa <i>mon</i> so prominently would have been appropriate only for Ieyasu Tokugawa, his son Hidetada Tokugawa (the first and second shoguns, respectively), or one of their closest relatives.
