It is a part of an attachment for a bit, (incomplete - half of it is missing) but one which passes over the bridge of the horses nose and under its jaw. A 'hackamore'. (The widest part of the object is like a nose-band).

Flip the photograph up the other way and you will see what I mean.

I don't know how the author managed to deduce that the object was a stirrup. For a start it's way too large, and it also has no fittings for straps where they are needed. :?

My friend has a reconstruction of such a bit. Here it is..

Definately NOT a stirrup! Panic over! Big Grin
