Description: | Late Saxon stirrup-strap mount, unclassified according to Williams 1997. The apex is missing, broken across the top fixing hole. Of two holes in the angled flange one has been ripped through to the basal edge, one being completely ripped away. Two replacement holes have been driven through above the flange. This has been carried out from both directions, as the burred-over edges of both holes on both sides indicate. Decoration consists only of an engraved contour line along the base, up the sides and around a rounded cut-out towards the top of both sides. The pointed ends above the apertures are missing, one side being more damaged than the other. In the centre of the reverse a small excrescence is a casting flaw. In general form it is most reminiscent of a much more highly decorated mount from Pointon, Lincs. (Williams 1997, 100, fig.62 no.487. It is also close in form to a (non-stirrup) mount from Tattersett (31825). 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
