Abstract

One of the classic inventory pieces of the burials with horses are the stirrups, which signals the existence of a saddle in the grave, form a significant number of the material culture of the 10th century and the first quarter of the 11th century. The article aims to examine stirrups in a more complex way covering all the elements of the body of the stirrup. It means the analysis of both functional and technological details. Our analysis is regional, but by this we would like to draw attention to the fact that a more complex analysis of stirrup finds might cast light to several connections that could not have been noticed by earlier studies due to their methods.
