Description: | Copper-alloy stirrup terminal of narrow foot-like form, now rather worn. It is quite sharply angled, with the upper part forming a tube 22 mm long and a maximum of 12 mm wide. The reverse is open and the tube flares slightly to a closed lower end. Across the angle, on the front, is a transverse moulding, and then there is a short downward-pointing foot which tapers sharply to a point. There are two indentations in the foot to form three 'toes'. The tube would have fitted around the iron stirrup and the inside of the tube has a lot of decayed solder for attachment to the stirrup. Late Anglo-Saxon, 11th century. | 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
