Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy strirrup strap mount of David William's class B, type 2 group 1 (Williams 1997, 88, Fig 55). When complete this mount would have been trapezoidal in shape, the lower fixing hole, with the remains of iron rivets within them and the lower half of the mount survive, the rest is missing due to an old break. The central zooamorphic projecting head, of mouse-like appearance with ears at 45 degrees from the top of the oval-shaped head can be seen, there are two parallel circular perforations directly below this head. To either side of it there are dumb-bell shaped perforations running for the length of the head, which represent two flanking gaping-mouthed beasts. Above the head there is the start of two more perforations which would have been roughly rectangular in shape and been directly below the upper central zooamporphic head, which is now missing. The back face is plain. This stirrup strap mount is late Anglo-Saxon in date and similar mounts have been found from W.Sussex and Norfolk (Williams 1997, 88-89, Fig 55). | 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
