Description: | A hollow-backed zoomorphic terminal with an iron core; one of a pair for a stirrup. The iron is the remains of one side of the stirrup frame. The upper end of the copper alloy 'sheath' is broken away and may have continued to the top of the stirrup frame. The lower part is hollow where the end of the footplate would have rested. The animal head has a prominent rounded forehead and on each side of the head are two pairs of tendrils, each ending in a scroll. These extend backwards from the snout and from the prominent pointed ears. Behind the neck is a grooved knop between two ridged collars.
