This is a double-cinch side saddle with a backrest and likely ahistorical stirrups. It has the initials or word "Thy" on the pommel and 1875 on the back of the backrest in bronze (?). This item was collected and accessioned in 1922 by C.C. Willoughby as part of a ethnographic project on behalf of the Peabody Museum. It is listed as a gift of John W. Hastings, 1905.
