Description: | Late Saxon copper alloy stirrup-strap mount, very worn and corroded, Williams' Class A, Type 1, perforation at apex, two addorsed beasts with bodies formed from connecting loops and knots cast in relief, the knobbed profile of the sides follows the outline of the heads, two rivet-holes above right-angled flange at base, 33 x 49mm. The design executed in relief is uncommon for this Class of mount as more usually it is engraved. Williams (1997) notes only two examples from a total of 62 (26-7, fig.19, no.1), although at least one other example is known from Beachamwell (HER 34533). 11th century.
