Description: | Anglo-Scandinavian copper alloy stirrup mount, 36mm long and 26.5mm wide. It is in a fair condition with a dark brown patina and weighs 10.50 grams. The mount is sub rectangular in form with a slight curved indentation in the centre of each side. Its upper part is missing and half of a fixing hole can be seen, flanked by two curved worn areas. This is flanked by raised linear decoration which creates a triangular form. Inside this is another raised area which is triangular. The lower edge of the object, which is straight, has triangular protrusions at each corner which would have formed animal heads. There are two circular fixing holes between these. The holes are filled with iron corroision and there is a patch of this on the reverse, which is otherwise plain. The mount fits Williams Class A type 7, but is a new variant (pers. comm. David Williams).
