Title
Copper alloy medieval stirrup mount, dating to the 11th century.
Description
English: An early medieval zoomorphic stirrup terminal dating to the 11th century. A cast copper alloy, hollow backed terminal with a supporting ledge. It is in the form of a beast's head with large protruding eyes and a snub-nosed muzzle. The object is heavily corroded but the body appears to have been decorated to mimic scales. The back of the terminal is hollow and retains traces of the iron solder used to attach it to the end of the stirrup arm. This example is similar to those illustrated in figure 2 of David William's Datasheet on these objects (Williams, 1997, Stirrup Terminals, Datasheet 24, Finds Research Group 700 - 1700).
