Description: | Cast copper alloy stirrup strap mount of Williams Class A, Type 13. The mount is diamond shaped with three pierced projecting diamond shaped arms, and a rearward lip at the bottom. There is a recessed smaller diamond shaped cell in the centre of the mount. The arms are located to each side and one above. The upper rivet hole contains iron corrosion, whereas the left and right hand side holes contain a bulbous headed copper alloy rivet. The lower part of the mount has slightly bulged edges and is decorated across the surface with an incised cross. The centre of the cross contains a rivet hole which is filled with iron corrosion. The bottom lip is incomple. The mount is nearly identical to numbers 338, 339 and 340 in Williams' catalogue (Williams, 1997, p76, fig. 48). One of these mounts is unprovenanced, and the other two are from Suffolk.
