Description: | Early medieval cast copper-alloy stirrup mount, 11th century in date. Is sub-triangular in shape and has a single fixing hole at the top of the mount and two fixing holes at the bottom, one in both corners. Copper-alloy rivets survive within the fixing holes. It is decorated on the front with several crudely incised lines but the back is plain. Also on the back is a 90 degree angle flange along the bottom edge of the mount. The surface of the mount is abraded and pitted, and is now brown with patches of light green. It measures 51.92mm long, 33mm wide, 3.96mm thick and weighs 34.81g. Similar stirrup mounts can be found in Mills, N. 2001. Saxon and Viking Artefacts.
