Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount from the Early Medieval period (circa 1000-1200). Williams?? classification states that this mount is a Class A, type 12.
These mounts are diamond-shaped, sitting on flat base, with a central diagonal cross giving four recesses or apertures, this example is an openwork version. On each of the junctions of the cross and the frame a small projecting circular boss survives. Only three of the four possible diamond shapes survive on this object as the fourth has been removed by a break. Therefore only six bosses survive. The fourth diamond and the apex loop are both missing. The mount has an angled flange. Traces of iron staining are still visible on the reverse of the mount behind the flange. The surface of the mount is worn and slightly corroded. The reverse is undecorated. Reference: Williams, p71 ?? 74, fig: 46-7, ref: 306 ?? 331. | Subjects: | [STRAP MOUNT] | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
