Description: | Fragment of a copper alloy late Saxon stirrup-strap mount. The base only remains. A small amount of the decorated part of the mount remains. This comprises a central, projecting zoomorphic head flanked by two broken apertures (rounded) with stubs of the frame at the outside. The surface of the stubs is raised. The base of the mount is flattened from the raised decoration. Below this the narrowed attachment plate is angled backwards slightly and has traces of two iron rivets (the left one survives in a more complete state that the right, retaining a projecting domed head). There is iron corrosion over much of the lower part of the object, front and back, from the decay of the iron rivets.
This is part of a Williams class B, type 1, group 3 mount (Williams, 1997, pages 87 - 89) | 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
