Description: | Incomplete copper alloy late Early-Medieval stirrup strap mount, missing its apex loop and part of its open work frame directly beneath. It is of Williams' Class A Type 12 and openwork.
Its incomplete height is 27mm and its width 30mm. It has six surviving bosses at each junction of cross and frame, and at the centre. At the arms of the cross nearest the flange, the bosses are set slightly below their meeting with the frame. As the top of the frame is missing above the cross, presuambly it would have had another two bosses set slightly upwards and nearer to the apex loop.
The mount is rather worn but pairs of punched dots in a line appear to decorate at least one of the arms of the cross inside the diamond-shaped frame. At the reverse is a hollow behind the central boss. The flange extends 10.5mm at a right angle and has a central piercing with remains of an iron rivet in situ.
The strap mount weighs 11.64g and is comparable with Williams 1997 p.72 nos.306 & 307. | 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
