Description: | A cast copper-alloy late Anglo-Saxon stirrup terminal. Measuring 32mm in surviving length (part of the upper end of the terminal is missing due to old breaks), 17mm in width and 16.5mm in thickness.
This stirrup terminal is roughly a pointed oval shape, with a hollow rectangular shaped shaft. The front face of the terminal is rounded with a central longitudinal ridge, the rectangular shaft is decorated with three transverse mouldings. The back is hollow, it is within this hollow that the diagonal arms of the lower part of an iron stirrup would have been enclosed. This stirrup terminal is obviously not zoomorphic or as ornate as those illustrated an discussed in D. Williams' article (FRG Datasheet 24), however, it is still most likely to be a stirrup terminal due to its hollow back and its size. | 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
