Title
Early-medieval stirrup: Stirrup mount
Description
English: A complete copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount dating to the late Anglo-Saxon period. The mount is roughly diamond-shaped, with a flat base and rounded loop at the apex. The decoration consists of four diamond or lozenge-shaped recessed closed panels, with a 7 rounded bosses projecting from the panel frames, roughly at the junction of all but two. There appears to be some linear decoration around the apex loop, but it is indistinct. There is a large rivet hole located centrally on the flanged base. The reverse is undecorated. This stirrup-strap mount is of Williams' s Class A Type 12, and dates to the 11th century AD.
