Description: | A cast copper alloy late Anglo-Saxon stirrup strap mount. It is a Class B mount but cannot be narrowed down to a particular type. The mount is rectangular with an angled flange with two iron rivets and two iron rivets at the apex. The openwork is debased and symmetrical, consisting of a central aperture in the upper frame with six smaller apertures surrounding it. There is possibly a zoomorphic head in lower frame: a large central aperture with a smaller teardrop shaped aperture to either side. It would, however, be possible to interpret the design as a backward-looking quadraped. This find is mid-late 11th century in date and of a mid greyish green colour. | 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: | 1050
