Early Medieval stirrup-strap mount |

| Description |
English: A complete Early Medieval copper alloy stirrup-strap mount of Williams Class A probably dating to c. AD 1000-1100.
The stirrup-strap mount consists of a sub-rectangular plate from the base of which projects backwards a rectangular angled flange, at c. 90 degrees to the plane. An attachment loop flanked by two floral knops projects from the centre of the top of the mount. This is pierced by a hole (c.3.3mm diameter). Two pointed knops project c.4.4m from the plate's bottom two corners. The remains of two iron rivets remain as iron corrosion product just above the lower edge, inside each of these projections. The front of the plate has raised moulded decoration consisting of joined scrolls of plant like ornament terminating in debased animal heads on the projecting knops. The reverse is undecorated. The mount is a light green colour with patches of medium brown. The mount is 49.4mm long, 29.6mm wide, 3.4mm thick excluding the flange and weighs 20.09 grams. There is an identical example of this mount, also found in Oxfordshire, illustrated by Williams (1997: 83) No. 390 now held at the Ashmolean. He defines this as a Class A undefined stirrup-strap mount (Williams 1997: 78-80), typically dated to the 11th century (Williams 1997: 9) although other examples have been found in later contexts. This is a large group with no obvious distribution pattern. |
