Description: | Copper alloy stirrup-strap mount of Williams Class B. The mount is generally trapezoidal and has openwork decoration with a central zoomorphic motif. The type of creature represented is unclear, but may be a lion. It is decorated with curvilinear incised lines. There are two parallel lateral incised grooves along the tope edge on the upper surface, divided by two circular rivet holes also arranged laterally. The reverse is flat and undecorated. There are a further two circular rivet holes on the flange, again arranged laterally, slightly off centre. The object is relatively thin at the top, becoming thicker, then thinning again at the flange. The object has been heavily cleaned so that the original patina is now lost. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, David W - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
