Description: | A cast copper alloy stirrup strap mount, Williams Class A, Type 1.
The mount is pentagonal in form, with a pendant lobe. Its original surface has almost completely worn away, but would once have been engraved with a pair of zoomorphic beasts knotted together. The three pairs of lobes on the objects' profile would have formed the ears, nose and crest of the animals' head.
The right angled flange is complete with the traces of two corroded iron rivets still in situ. The worn surface of the mount is mid reddish brown to light greyish green in colour, with small patches of the original dark green patina remaining. This mount dates to the 11th century. | 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
