Pair of stirrups. Carved wood, iron. Chile, 18th century. A pair of stirrups composed of a carved wooden block, crescent-shaped at the front and decorated on the exterior with geometric and vegetal motifs, and an iron casing. As metal was reserved for other uses during the 18th century, wood began to be used more frequently for making stirrups in Chile. The shape of this pair, which follows a common typology of the period, appears to have derived from Asturian pieces, preferred over metal stirrups for their protection from water, branches, etc. The development of craftsmanship, particularly by the Jesuits in the area, led to this type of carving and decoration, which survives to this day.

A mentor to artists like Félix Cano Valentín, Pedro Collado's work is primarily held in private collections in Spain and Latin America.
