Description: | Cast copper alloy fitting having a half-round channel-like section one end of which is plain, with a slight taper, this is separated from the rest of the object by a baluster moulding around which is a single, medial, incised line. The rest of the object consists of a hooked, claw-like moulding the underside of which is hollowed. Within the hollow are traces of a silvery metal, which is either solder or lead. While direct parallels for this object have not been found its form and method of construction are very like those seen on Saxo-Norman stirrup mounts and it is likely that it was a side-piece from one of them. | Subjects: | mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Leahy, Kevin - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
