Description: | Incomplete Late Early-Medieval copper alloy stirrup strap mount of Williams' Class A Type 9, with most of its loop broken (old break). The mount stands 28.3mm high and is 30.3mm wide. To the reverse is an angled flange with a single piercing at the centre, now surrounded by iron staining. On all surfaces of the mount the original patina has been lost. The mount depicts a human mask. It has pointed oval eyes, a downward-turned mouth and prominent nose and chin. Around the cheeks and eyes is a simplified interlace, ending in scrolls. In comparison with the Type 9 mounts recorded by Williams' (1997) this example has a smaller chin, rounder eyes and a generally more pleasant face! Weighs 10.54g. 11th century.
