Description: | A copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount of probable 11th century AD date. This mount is classified as a Williams Class A, Type 12 mount (1997; pp. 69-74). The corroded mount is lozenge-shaped and has an apex loop with small circular aperture at the centre. Arranged around a central knob are four rough lozenge-shaped voids. At the bottom is a right-angle flange which has adhering iron corrosion on the back. Protruding from the top of this iron corrosion is the remnant of a thin copper-alloy sheet - this may originally have covered the entire back of the mount. The head of an iron rivet can be seen at the centre of the flange's underside. The object measures 44.4mm high, 26.6mm wide and 12mm deep. The weight is 18.11g.
