Description: | Copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount of Williams??s Class A, Type 12, openwork variety. It is lozenge-shaped on a flat base, with a central diagonal cross giving four lozenge-shaped apertures. A small projecting circular boss is positioned at the centre of the cross, with further bosses and at the end of each arm (at the junction with the frame) and perhaps at both surviving corners of the frame. The mount is very worn, and there are no visible remains of any other decoration. The upper loop is missing. There is a flange at the base, with a single iron rivet retaining a rusty iron plate. 11th century. | Subjects: | Williams Class A Type 12 strap mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burr, Geoff - West Kent Metal Detector Club | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
