Title
Early medieval stirrup terminal
Description
English: A complete copper alloy early medieval stirrup terminal of zoomorphic form dating from c. AD 1050 - 1100. The Two rounded triangular ears projecting out from behind the eyes, behind this the terminal is rounded and hollow for attachment to the stirrup. The oval eyes are bulging with a raised curved incised line above and below. The nose projects out from below the eyes, and is hooked with incised lines running up into the nose. Below the nose on one side is a rectangular slot. There is a small circular supporting edge on the terminal end for supporting the footplate of the stirrup. The back of the terminal is hollow with the sides curving in slightly, and would have fitted around the arm of the lower part of the stirrup.

The stirrup mount has a dark red brown patina, and measures 29.5mm in length, 11.9mm in width, 12.3mm in thickness, and weighs 10.33g.
