Description: | a copper alloy early medieval stirrup strap mount. It is a William's class A type 12 closed form, being lozenge-shaped with a central diagonal cross giving four equal lozenge-shaped apertures. There are circular raised bosses at the junctions of the cross and the frame, making a total of seven, although one is missing as the right side terminal is incomplete. The mount rests on a flat base flange set at right angles to the mount. There are the remains of a single iron rivet at the centre back of the flange. The apex is circular, 9.96mm in diameter, and also retains a single iron rivet. The mount measures 40.9mm in length and 23.77mm in width and weighs 11.6g.This example is paralleled by Williams 1997, no. 300, from Caistor, Norfolk. The apertures in the Norfolk example had traces of red enamel, and it is probable that the Yaxley strap mount was also enamelled originally.
