介绍（中）	这个沉重的铁十字架马镫以低矮的浮雕装饰，上面有狮子、狗和鸟居住的植物卷轴，图案可能受到进口中国纺织品和象牙的启发。侧臂角上的银钉本可以挂上银饰品（现已丢失）。两个细长的挡板与一块扁平的铁片相连，铁片被刺穿作为房屋的立面图案，展示了阳台、带花瓶的窗户和动物居住的植物卷轴 Estribos de cruz，在西班牙语中被称为Estribons de cruz，在18世纪的墨西哥特别流行，被骑兵使用。它们的尺寸过大，重量很大，许多都有精心的装饰，有时还富含银色元素。当时，马已经是墨西哥社会社会地位的标志，而展示丰富、美丽、闪亮的马钉就是突出这一事实的一种方式。然而，尽管（或者可能是因为）这种马镫很受欢迎，1772年皇家法令正式禁止士兵使用这种马镫，1778年又完全禁止，主要是因为它们给旁观者带来了危险。
介绍（英）	This heavy iron cross-form stirrup is decorated in low relief with vegetal scrolls inhabited by lions, dogs and birds, motifs possibly inspired by imported Chinese textiles and ivories. The silver nails on the corners of the side arms would have attached silver ornaments (now lost). The two elongated flaps are connected with a flat piece of iron pierced as a house façade motif showing a balcony, windows with vases, and vegetal scrolls inhabited by animals. Estribos de cruz, as they are called in Spanish, were particularly popular in Mexico during the 18th century, and were used by cavalry. Oversized and very heavy, many of them feature elaborate decoration, sometimes enriched with silver elements. Horses were already at this time a mark of social status in Mexican society, and the display of rich, beautiful, and shiny horse tack was a way to highlight this fact. Despite (or perhaps because of) its popularity, however, this type of stirrup was officially forbidden for soldiers by royal decree in 1772, and then completely in 1778, mostly because of the danger they presented to bystanders.
