2024-09-08

Gilded Wooden Stirrups, made of intricately crafted mulberry wood and gilt bronze, are hailed as masterpieces of gilded craftsmanship from the Northern Yan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period (304-439). Unearthed from the tomb of Feng Sufu, the stirrups are a revolutionary invention that transformed cavalry and warfare. The introduction of stirrups enabled early warriors to have both hands free for combat, providing increased stability and control while riding.
