Description: | Unusual small copper alloy Viking-age stirrup terminal. The object is 26mm long, of rounded partially tubular form, originally encasing a rod terminal of c.6mm gauge. The thinner, inward part of the tubular casing is broken away to reveal this cavity, which had a lead lining. At the base the terminal is closed and flat beneath, and three lugs or studs of c.5mm projected, the central one of which has broken off. Near the top of the mount an inverted V appears as a part of the ornamental scheme. | 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: | 900
