Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy stirrup-strap mount of probable eleventh century date (AD 1000 ? AD 1100). Williams Class A, type 5. Length 30mm, width 28mm and 3.2mm thick. Weight 15.99g. The mount has a pentagonal frame set within a pair of tendril-like shapes which terminate in scrolls. The apex loop is missing and the break is fresh. Within the frame, the design consists of a gaping mouthed beast, with a lobed snout, enmeshed with tendrils. At the base of the mount, just within the frame, is a single centrally situated fixing hole. The hole is about 5mm in diameter and is filled with the remains of a corroded iron rivet. The rear face has a stepped flange at the base which is 13mm in length. There are three poorly defined ring-and-dot impressions, one above the other along the longitudinal centre-line on the rear face. | 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
