Description: | Stirrup-strap mount of Williams's Class A, Type 12 (closed version). Now very worn and a little bent, the loop at the apex is still intact but is very worn at the top. Below, the mount was originally lozengiform but has now lost its side corners; it is decorated with a worn double-strand diagonal cross with a large circular boss in the centre, and a similar double-strand border. There are very low bumps at the intersections of the cross arms and the border. The basal flange has broken away with part of the bottom of the mount, across two rivet holes. All breaks are very worn. Stirrup-strap mounts were used to reinforce the join between the iron stirrup and the stirrup leather. Late Anglo-Saxon, 11th century AD.
