Title
Early Medieval: Incomplete stirrup strap mount
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy Stirrup Strap Mount, of Late Saxon dating (11th Century AD).

The stirrup strap mount is sub triangular in shape and irregular in cross section. The apex is incomplete, with the break across the top attachment hole. The front exhibits three (3) attachment holes: one (now incomplete) positioned centrally at the apex of the mount and two at the base, one containing the remains of an iron rivet. Minimal decoration is present on the front of the mount, consisting of a recessed thin border. Two bifid feet are present, one on either side, located at the base of the mount.

The back is concave and undecorated. A flange is present at the base, of the Common Right Angle Flange type (A) as catalogued by Williams (1997, p.25, fig 18). Remnants of the iron stirrup are present on the flange.

The strap mount measures 43.3 mm in height, 37.0 mm wide and 12.7 mm thick. The internal diameter of the surviving complete hole measures 2.6 mm. It weighs 26.0 grams.

A comparative example from Warwickshire was published by Williams (1997, p. 54, #379) and has been classified as Class A unclassified and is thought to be of 11th Century AD dating.
