介绍（中）	这个豪华的马镫完全装饰着复杂的常春藤或牵牛花藤蔓穿孔网络，以及几何设计。在踏板的剩余边缘，一只狐狸试图躲在植物卷轴中躲避两只猎犬。踏板本身在透雕中显示了一个交错的结，并通过追逐和雕刻添加了许多细节自15世纪以来，波希米亚的豪华马术设备上就发现了这种刺穿设计非常复杂的金属薄板，形成真正的金属花边的技术，就像1455年在布拉格为波兰国王卡西米尔二世制作的马刺和马镫一样（维也纳，昆史博物馆）。只有最优秀的工匠才能达到这样的质量。然而，像这个马镫这样的铁制品杰作实际上是如此脆弱，以至于它们只能偶尔用于仪式目的这件物品应该是为波希米亚的一位富有的领主（在这种情况下，可能是在布拉格）或活跃在巴伐利亚或萨克森的波希米亚工匠制作的，因为马镫"脚"上的四颗橡子让人想起了当代东德马术铁制品。
介绍（英）	This luxurious stirrup is entirely adorned with an intricate pierced network of ivy or morning glory vines, as well as geometrical designs. On the remaining edge of the footplate, a fox tries to escape two hounds by hiding among the vegetal scrolls. The footplate itself displays an interlaced knot in openwork, and numerous details have been added by chasing and engraving. This technique of piercing a very thin plate of metal with very intricate designs, creating a true metallic lacework, is found on deluxe equestrian equipment in Bohemia since the 15th century, as on the spurs and stirrups made in Prague for King Casimir II of Poland ca. 1455 (Vienna, Kunsthistorishes museum). Such quality could only be achieved by the best craftsmen. Ironwork masterpieces like this stirrup, however, were actually so fragile than they would only be used occasionally for ceremonial purposes. This object should have been made for a wealthy lord in Bohemia (in this case, probably in Prague) or by a Bohemian craftsman active in Bavaria or Saxony, as the four acorns on the stirrup’s ‘feet’ recall contemporary equestrian east German ironwork.
