19th C Spanish Colonial Conquistador Tapaderos
Featured in this lot is this 19th century Spanish colonial Conquistador tapaderos. The tapaderos feature a wonderfully and professionally crafted brass construction that shows flat square toes with scalloped flared decoration, and the tapaderos compartment. Tapaderos are used to prevent a rider's feet from slipping through the stirrup, as well as to protect the rider's feet from brush. The condition of this pair brass tapaderos is fair with the bar between the scalloped decoration shown broken and a patina adorning the brass but otherwise shows a fair overall condition. The measurements of this pair of tapaderos is 5" x 10 1/4" x 4 1/8". The collective weight of this pair of tapaderos is 4lb 14oz.
