Description: | Cast copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount. Pear-shaped, but with straighter sides than is usual for this type. Zoomorphic head terminal and pair of smaller, rounded terminals projects beyond the base of the mount. The zoomorphic terminal has a large, snub nose and defined ears, but little other detail survives. Collar behind head, from which emerges a pair of sinuous shapes forming a frame. A pair of scrolling side shoots projects beyond the frame. The curving frame turns inwards and then upwards to form a tree-like device with branches; although this example is heavily worn and the detail is not visible. The two lower terminals have eyes, but no other features are discernible. Short flange, two basal holes for attachment with corroded iron rivets intact. Further circular hole through the collar below the zoomorphic terminal. This example is larger than those illustrated in Williams 1997, 45-47 nos. 116-29 fig. 31). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1000
