Description: | A cast copper-alloy late Anglo-Saxon stirrup terminal. Measuring 23.8mm in length, 15.2mm in width and 14.2mm in thickness. This stirrup terminal is roughly an oval shape in plan. The front face of the terminal is rounded with a central longitudinal ridge and a longitudinal ridge to either side of this. It has a short shaft which has a transverse moulding along its upper edge. The back of the terminal is hollow and 4.7mm in depth, it is within this hollow that the diagonal arms of the lower part of an iron stirrup would have been enclosed. This stirrup terminal is not zoomorphic or as ornate as those illustrated an discussed in D. Williams' article (FRG Datasheet 24). Similar globular terminals have been found elsewhere in Suffolk, for example at Nacton, see SF-357EB5.
