Description: | A late Anglo-Saxon cast copper alloy stirrup-strap mount, of Williams Class B. The stirrup strap mount is very worn, but is of an openwork design, with three pairs of apertures and an angled flange which projects backwards from the distal end. The remains of an iron rivet are present in the flange's left fixing hole, but the other fixing hole is incomplete. The upper fixing hole is also missing. The closest parallel in David Williams' Late Saxon-Stirrup Strap Mounts, is no. 504 (p. 104, fig. 64). This example, from Dorset, is better preserved and is decorated with animal heads.
