Ram Head Stirrup Cup

Ram Head Stirrup Cup Silver plate, 5¼" tall, 2⅓" diameter at lip. The stirrup cup has been around for many centuries and was used at the beginning of group horseback hunts. As a token of good luck for the upcoming hunt, the host of the hunting party would offer the riders a parting shot once their feet were firmly in the stirrups. The cups are usually in the likeness of a stag, fox, ram, boar, etc. GBR-16-1P-TC
