Description: | A copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount from the Early Medieval period (circa 1000-1200). This example is a Class A, Type 1 Williams classification. The mount depicts an incised zoomorphic design which has been crudely executed. The design is meant to represent a beast in profile. The mount has an angled flange. This example is incomplete, as the outer edges of the mount have been heavily worn and are corroded. The surface design is also worn and corroded. The apex loop has been lost due to wear and corrosion. The corrosion product from two iron rivets remains in situ in the rivet holes and there is considerable iron corrosion on the reverse of the mount. The reverse is undecorated. The metal is a dark reddish-brown and is very pitted as much of the original surface has been lost. Similar to mounts in Williams' classification, p33, Fig: 23.
