Description: | Late Saxon Stirrup strap mount, very worn and corroded, sub-triangular with curving sides and basal projections, traces of interlaced relief decoration, possibly zoomorphic with the apex forming the head of the beast, pierced above slight flange by two iron rivets, 32 x 45mm. cf. a broadly similar mount from Cawston (HER 7641) and three others illustrated in Williams (1997, Unclassified mounts of Class A, fig.52, nos.376-8, all found in Norfolk at Swafield, West Rudham and Wicklewood), though also similar to crude mounts of Class A, Type 8 (R Webley 18th October 2013). 11th century.
