Description: | This is a mid 11th Century Stirrup-Strap mount made of copper-alloy. It is a Class A sub-triangular mount, type 16. There are only 4 others that have been recorded by David Williams (these are from Somerset, East Sussex, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire). The front of the mount has been very badly destroyed by chemicals in the soil and so it is almost impossible to see what image is depicted. The apex loop still survives and the two holes (where the iron fitting would have gone still remain - although they do not contain any remains of iron). On the reverse of the artefact the right-angle flange juts out from the base of the mount, but again no iron fitting remains.
