Description: | Copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount. It is a sub-lozenge shape in plan, 43.7mm long and 28.2mm wide (measurements are from corner to corner). The outer face of the mount is decorated with four sunken lozenge-shaped cells, forming a lozenge shape as a whole. In the centre of the mount there is a small circular high-relief dome around which the cells are positioned. The upper corner of the mount has an integral sub-circular loop, the apex loop. The lower 'corner' is a flat edge 15.9mm wide. In profile this lower edge forms a 'L' flange. On this flange, which protrudes on the reverse, there is a central rivet hole, which has the remains of an iron rivet. Otherwise the reverse of the mount is undecorated.The mount has a traces of a mid-green patina, but the surface is otherwise slightly rough and corroded. The mount is very similar to Williams 1997, nos. 302-304.
