Description: | Copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount. It is a sub-lozenge shape in plan. The upper corner has an integral circular lug with the remains of a central iron rivet. The lower edge has a small integral rectangular block which has a single central rivet hole, also with the remains of an iron rivet. In profile this lower edge forms a 'L' flange in profile. The front face of the mount is decorated with four sunken lozenge-shaped cells. In the centre of the mount there is a small circular high-relief dome around which the cells are positioned. The reverse is undecorated. The surface of the mount is abraded and there is not trace of the original surface. The mount measures 44.6mm long and 21.92mm wide (measurements are from corner to corner). It weighs 10.61g.
The mount is very similar to Williams (1997 Late Saxon Stirrup Mounts: A Classification and Catalogue CBA Research Report 111), nos. 302-304. Therefore it can be classed as a Class A Type 12. These mounts tend to date to the 11th century. | Subjects: | Class A Type 12 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
