Description: | Incomplete copper alloy stirrup-strap mount of Late Early-Medieval, eleventh century date. Williams Class A, type 1. Length 52mm, width 32mm and 3mm thick. Weight 26.36g.The mount is pentagonal-shaped in plan and has two sinuous shoulders that flare outwards from the apex loop. The lower portion has parallel sides and a horizontal base with the remains of a rearward projecting flange. The rear edge of the flange is broken and missing. The break appears to be old and is eroded. Just above the flange are two circular fixing holes. These holes and the hole at the apex are 3mm in diameter. Viewed from the side the mount has a slightly curved profile, convex at the front and concave at the rear. The front was probably decorated. However, no decoration can now be seen. Found at a metal detecting rally near Newbury about 2000.
