Description: | Cast copper alloy stirrup-strap mount of Williams's Class A, Type 1, broadly pentagonal in shape. There is a perforated apex loop that contains the remains of an iron rivet. The reverse is flat and undecorated and the mount has a right-angled flange, singly perforated with the remains of an iron rivet in place. The front of the mount is decorated with an engraved design, possibly inlaid with silver wire. The design consists of a pair of addorsed beasts, and the outline of the two heads creates a knobbed profile. The heads have upwardly turned noses, projecting ears and a crest; all three elements form a knob in the profile. The bodies of the beasts are delineated with a simple curvilinear design. The mount has a patchy green patina with large amount of red/brown metal showing through. There are possible traces of gilding present. (Williams 1997: 26-33). | 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
