Description: | An incomplete stirrup strap mount, the tip of which is missing due to an old break. This strap mount is of William's class C and is late Anglo Saxon in date. It is larger than most stirrup strap mounts of other classes, this incomplete example measures 45mm in length and 32mm in width. It is roughly rectangular in shape with a tapering top half. This mount has a projecting stepped flange with two fixing holes through it, one of which contains the corroded iron remains of a rivet. As well as this projecting flange it also has a pair of side plates, projecting from the flange and at right angles to the plane of the mount, they are 17mm in length and 8mm in width. The mount is decorated with openwork and is likely to have had an apex loop, which is now missing. An identical strap mount, with the same open work design has been found at Souldern, Oxon (Wiliams 1997, 100-101, fig 62, no 486). | 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
