Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy late Anglo-Saxon stirrup strap mount, measuring 28mm in width and 23mm in surviving height. The lower half of this mount now survives the rest is missing due to an old break. This strap mount is of Williams class A, type 4, it has a an angled flange with a central lower fixing hole with corroded iron within it. When complete this mount is likely to have been roughly oval in shape. The base is expanded, and the front face of the mount is decorated with a symmetrical looping shape, it is not clear what, if anything, is being represented. Similar Class A type 4 mounts, though more complete have been discovered in Sussex, Hindringham, Norfolk and Walsingham, Norfolk (Williams 1997, 39-40). | 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
