Description: | A stirrup-strap mount of Williams' Class B (ungrouped). The mount consists of a rectangular plate with a sloping flange at the bottom which contains a pair of closely-spaced iron rivets. Remains of an iron fitting which was held in place by the rivets survive on the back. The apex loop is missing. The very worn inscribed decoration is of late Viking inspiration and comprises a pair of opposed spirals joined by a fillet of two lines, and with four other diagonal lines which meet at two points along the central axis.
