Title
Early Medieval stirrup-strap mount (incomplete)
Description
English: An incomplete copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount of probable 11th century date.

The bottom side and apex of this sub-triangular mount are missing, having been lost in antiquity. The upper surface bears a zoomorphic design, executed in high relief, depicting a lion-like animal standing left, raising one forepaw, his head facing towards the top. The animal is generally realistic in appearance, the only exception to this being one of the hindlegs, the top of which extends directly into the upward-curving tail. The remains of two sub-circular perforations flank the head and neck of the beast. The piece measures 25mm high, 26.4mm wide, 3.6mm thick and weighs 6.8g.

This piece is an example of a Williams Class A, Type 11A mount, several examples of which are illustrated by the author (Williams 1997: 58-67).
