Description: | A cast, copper-alloy stirrup strap mount dating to the 11th century, Williams Class A Type 12 (1997; 69-74). The mount is lozenge-shaped in plan, sitting on a flat base that projects to the back of the mount. The top of the mount has lost the circular projection, with only the base remaining. The lozenge-shaped body is decorated with a raised X, creating four diamond-shaped fields. There are 8 circular bosses that project off the raised X and outer frame of the body. 4 bosses are at each terminal of the X where it meets the frame, 1 is in the centre of the X, and the remaining 3 are on the border of the lozenge-shaped body (1 each on the side-angles and 1 at the base angle). There are several other examples of Class A, Type 12 stirrup-strap mounts on the PAS database; two examples are NARC-7F89D2 and LVPL-1E5FB8.
