Title |
11th century stirrup strap mount with Ringerike decoration |
||
Description |
English: A complete cast copper alloy stirrup strap mount, dating to the end of the Late Saxon or Viking Age (AD 1000 - 1125). The mount is sub-pentagonal in form. From its apex, it widens to its maximum width, and its edges are complex, rather than straight, with flourishes that may represent foliate or zoomorphic ornament. The mount narrows to a waist, before widening straightening out towards the base. The basal edge is flat. Close to this edge are two large circular perforations, presumably for rivet attachment. A third rivet hole is present at the apex loop. All three rivets are now missing. The upper surface is decorated with Ringerike decoration, the central element of which is an engraved pair of roughly symmetrical addorsed Ringerike style beasts, positioned beneath a pendent loop. This decoration is characteristic of Williams' (1997) Class A Type 1 mounts. It is likely to date from the first quarter of the 11th century to the early 12th century (Williams 1997, 8). This artefact has a buff-brown-green patina, though the Ringerike beasts have a red coloration, and it is in reasonable condition. Length: c. 5cm, width: c. 3cm ; thickness c. 5mm. |
