Description: | Anglo-Scandinavian copper alloy stirrup mount, 45mm long and 29mm wide. The object is quite worn with a reddish patina, but its decoration fits Williams Class A type 6. It is rectangular in form with rounded upper corners which flank a central protruding shaft, 10mm long. The shaft shows traces of an animal head, with a rounded protrusion in the centre. The upper edge of the shaft shows traces of a broken off rivet hole. The main mount is decorated with a central raised vertical shaft which has 4 sets of short 'branches' coming off it at an oblique angle. This is framed on each side by a curving 'beast' which curls around the upper part of the central decoration and then moves outwards before curling in to form the base of the decoration. Below this is an angled flange with two rivet holes, one at each corner. The reverse is plain and is slightly concave. | Subjects: | strap mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
