Description: | Cast copper alloy stirrup of Late Medieval date, probably dating from the late 14th to the 16th century. The stirrup is incomplete, missing the footrest and approximately half of one of the side arms. The side arms are of sub-triangular section at the suspension loop and widen towards the footrest. The more complete arm has moulded decoration on the outside face, consisting of a raised rectangular panel, containing a raised chevron. The side arm, beneath the decoration, is of oval section. The more complete arm is unlikely to be distorted or bent outwards, since as Ward Perkins (1940, p 89) notes, late 14th century forms tend to have an asymmetrical projection to one side. The suspension loop is masked by an integral decorative panel. The panel is sub-rectangular and has three central raised ribs. On either side of the ribs the panel is decorated with a double S-scroll composed of short incised marks. The suspension loop is composed of a slightly convex rectangular bar.
