Description: | A copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount from the Early Medieval period (c. 1000-1200). This example is a Class B, Type 3, Group 6 Williams classification. A roughly trapezoidal mount with zigzag edges. Part of the top and the apex hole are missing. The central head has pierced ears. The reminder of the facial features are formed by grooves and punched groove decoration which extends across the face of the mount but not onto the flange. The head is hollow. Two iron rivets survive in the flange. The metal is a dark brownish-grey and is very smooth, much of the original surface still survives. | 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
