Title
Stirrup strap mount
Description
English: A complete copper-alloy late Anglo-Saxon stirrup strap mount, of Williams' Class a type 14 (Williams 1997, 75, 77, fig 49, no 348-352). This stirrup strap mount is roughly triangular in shape and in the form of a cross, measuring 45.3mm in length and 28.5mm in width, at its widest point, it has a right angle flange as do all Class A mounts. There is no apex loop and the apex and the terminals of the 'arms' are clearly zoomorphic, and seem to represent animals heads, with long oval eyes. The front face of the body of the strap mount has been decorated with two pairs of longitudinal boarder grooves with zigzag edges. Through the centre of the mount, inbetween the 'arms,' there is ther remains of a corroded iron rivet. There is another central iron rivet, also corroded, near to the flange end of this mount. Similar stirrup strap mounts have been found at Harling, Norfolk, Histon, Cambridgeshire, Castle Rising Norfolk, and Coddenham, Suffolk (Williams 1997, 75, 77, fig 49, nos 348-352).
