Description: | A copper-alloy fragment from a late Anglo-Saxon stirrup-strap mount. The surviving fragment is roughly triangular in shape measuring 19mm by 15mm. It would have been part of an openwork zoomorphic mount, on the front face there are three complete circular perforations arranged around a oval-shaped projection, which is likely to have been the head of an animal which on clearer examples usually look mouse/bat-like. Another incomplete circular perforation can be seen diagonally above one of the complete ones. The back face is flat and slightly concave where the oval protrusion occurs on the front face. This fragment is likely to be of William's class B, Type 1, it is especially similar to an illustrated mount of type 1, Group 3, which is complete and has three projecting heads and on its lower half apertures of the same arrangement as this example, it was found in Leicestershire (Williams 1997, 87-88, Fig 55, No 409). | 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
