Description: | A terminal from a stirrup of late Saxon date. The terminal, now very worn, is in the form of an animal head. The head has a pair of crests curling backwards from behind it and there appears to be a pair of curving strips ending in scrolls which curl backwards from the nose. The back is hollow and is filled with a white material, a lead-based solder. On the forehead is a white V-shaped area; this is almost certainly a decorative inlay, possibly silver, and there appear to be traces elsewhere.
