Description: | A corroded and incomplete fragment, possibly from a stirrup terminal of late Early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) to early medieval date (11th Century). The function of stirrup terminals is discussed by David Williams, in his book "Late Saxon stirrup-strap mounts" (1997; pp. 6-7). For a complete example of this artefact type, see PAS record no. BH-C560D2. The object takes the form of half a (horizontally split) cylinder. The upper surface has two moulded collars, after which it has broken at both end, resulting in the loss of the terminal. On the underside is an applied substance - seemingly some form of solder or paste, the function of which would have been to attach the terminal to the bottom corner of the stirrup.
