Description: | Triangular mount with two projections, one of which retains moulded decoration. The face of the mount is engraved with converging lines at the centre and short transverse lines to either side and between the two rivet holes. The two rivet holes retain the copper rivets. The apex is broken which presumably would have included the upper rivet hole. The common right angle flange on the back is much denuded due to corrosion. The whole appearance gives the effect of a decorated animal face, the projections being the ears and the two rivet holes being the eyes, the apex forming the snout. | Subjects: | Stirrup-strap mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Herepath, Nick - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
