Description: | A copper-alloy stirrup mount of probable 11th century AD date. Williams Class A, Type 12 mount (D. Williams, 1997, p. 70). The mount is roughly lozenge-shaped, but is squared-off at the bottom corner, where there is a backwards-pointing flange with an iron rivet and a corroded attachment of iron or possibly mineralised leather. The design on the upper surface consists of a central diagonal cross giving four closed recesses. There are seven projecting lobes, located at key points of the design, such as corners and the centre. At the top is a remnant of a circular apex loop. The object measures 34.6mm high by 24mm wide and 3.8mm thick. It weighs 5.9g. | 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
