Description: | A complete copper-alloy stirrup terminal. This stirrup terminal is roughly rectangular in plan with a length of 18mm, a width of 15mm and a thickness of 12mm. The outer face is domed and the inner face has a triangular shaped hollow, which contains traces of iron, this is from the diagonal arms of the lower part of the iron stirrup, which would have been enclosed inside the hollow. This stirrup terminal is not obviously zoomorphic or as ornate as those illustrated and discussed in D.Williams's article (FRG, Datasheet 24, however it is still most likely to be a stirrup terminal as it is of the correct size and hollow backed and has been identified as such by Dr. H. Geake who has confirmed that it is Anglo-Saxon in date (5/2003, pers. comm).
