Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy stirrup terminal, rectangular in plan measuring 23.5mm in length and 11mm in width. The front face is zoomorphic, small projecting ears can be seen, the snout is long, projecting and triangular in shape with a square tip. This style indicates a Scandinavian inspiration, reflecting the late Viking and Urnes styles. It is open backed and hollow. Inside the terminal there is a white lead solder, which would have been used to attach this terminal to the diagonal iron arms of the lower part stirrup, can be seen. This terminal is a snub-nosed type terminal, as identified by D. Williams (1997, 1-3, fig 2), and dates to the late early medieval period, late 10th and 11th centuries. | Subjects: | terminal | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
