Description: | An incomplete Early Medieval stirrup strap mount of Williams Type A, class 11a. The cast copper-alloy sub-triangular mount depicts a lion in relief facing right, looking upwards with its front paw raised and its tail curled between his legs and bends backwards. The incomplete apex loop has a pendant lobe on the bottom that penetrates the frame above the lion's head. The bottom of the mount has two lower attachment holes and a right-angled flange on the reverse. The copper alloy rivets are still in lace and the flange is covered with iron corrosion from the stirrup. The surviving length is 47.7mm, the maximum width is 27.7mm, the thickness is 3.8mm and the weight is 23.27g.
