Description: | Fragment of a late Saxon copper alloy stirrup strap mount, Williams Class B, Type 1. Only the lower part of the mount remains that has a rearward lip with two holes in it. One of the holes contains iron corrosion. The main body is openwork with an animals head in the centre at the base. The animals head has two large ears and looks somewhat like a bear.
Class B Type 1 mounts have a distribution in Kent, Essex, and curiously, north of Lincoln, to which pattern this present mount is complimentary. | Subjects: | Stirrup strap Type 11.
