This monoxyle stirrup is animated by a zoomorphic Janus figure: a pair of horns meet to form a circle on the top of the animal's oval head, its angular jaw opens onto small incised teeth, its nose is straight and its eyes are arched.
The stirrups were used to hang the loom's heddles.
It bears an old handwritten collection number: 3521.
