Description: | A complete copper-alloy stirrup terminal with a length of 20mm, a width of 16mm and a thickness of 12mm. This stirrup terminal has six irregular outer faces, and the inner face is a hollow rectangular shape, which contains traces of iron, this is from the diagonal arms of the lower part of the iron stirrup, which would have been enclosed inside the hollow. As well as traces of solder, which would have been used to hold the iron stirrup arms in place. This stirrup terminal is not obviously zoomorphic or as ornate as those illustrated and discussed in D.Williams's article (FRG, Datasheet 24, however it is still most likely to be a stirrup terminal as it is of the correct size and hollow backed and has been identified as such by Dr. H. Geake who has confirmed that it is Anglo-Saxon in date (5/2003, pers. comm). | Subjects: | Stirrup terminal Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
