Description: | Early Medieval (11th century, late Anglo-Saxon) cast copper alloy stirrup strap mount. The mount is sub-triangular with an apex loop filled with iron corrosion, and a worn and damaged flange at a right angle to the base. There are three openwork circles on the mount, two located just above the flange, and the third at the centre of the mount. The surface is extremely worn and corroded, making the design unclear. There are some smaller holes or circular depressions on the upper surface of the mount which are filled with corrosion products. The reverse of the mount is slightly concave, and contains traces of iron corrosion. It is 46.28mm long, 30.51mm wide, 6.04mm thick, increasing to 8.72mm thick at the flange. It weighs 29.53 grams.
