Description: | A late Anglo-Saxon copper alloy stirrup mount of Williams' Class A, Type 1. Decorated with engraved decoration consisting of two animal heads on the edges of the mount with intertwining bodies in the centre. Six knobs projecting from the long edges of the mount, three on each side. The lowest knobs represent the nose of each animal, the next ones up are the ears and the top ones form crests on the creatures' necks. More than half of the decoration is covered by corrosion, apparently caused by the presence of iron rivets in the two lower fixing holes. | Subjects: | Type 1 Strap mount Class A | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Richardson, Andrew - Canterbury Archaeological Trust | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
