Title
Early medieval to medieval stirrup-strap mount
Description
English: A copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount of probable 11th century AD date. Under D. Williams' classification system, this artefact is classified as a Class A, Type 15 mount (see D. Williams; 1997). The mount is roughly pentagonal in plan, having straight but slightly converging lower sides and angled upper sides, each with two convex mouldings. The apex loop is rounded and has a circular aperture. Extending backwards from the horizontal base is a right-angle flange, adhering to which is iron corrosion. The lower part of the upper surface of the mount is plain, apart from the heads of two iron rivets; the upper half is decorated with a symmetrical swirling pattern of grooves. The surfaces of the mount are corroded. The object measures 43.9mm high, 25.6mm wide and 8.3mm thick. The weight is 17.91g.
