The Stag Deer Silver Stirrup Cup is a type of drinking vessel or cup that is often associated with equestrian or hunting themes. It is designed in the shape of a stirrup, which is the foot support used by riders to balance themselves on horseback. These cups are typically made of silver or other high-quality materials and are often used for toasting or drinking during hunting events or other equestrian gatherings. The tradition of the Stirrup Cup dates back several centuries, and it was a common practice for riders to have a drink before heading out on a hunt. The cup would be filled with a drink, such as wine or a small measure of spirits, and offered to riders as they mounted their horses. It was a way to wish them luck and success in the hunt. Today, the Silver Stirrup Cup remains a popular item among collectors and those interested in equestrian or hunting-related artifacts. They can also be found as decorative pieces or used during special equestrian events and competitions.
