Description: | A cast copper alloy stirrup terminal of late early-medieval date. The terminal has a hollow back which contains remnants of the lead solder which would have joined it to the side of the stirrup. The front of the terminal is zoomorphic, a simple stylised beast with straight muzzle and large eyes, one of which is oval and one more D-shaped. The muzzle has two parallel longitudinal crests, about 1mm in width, on each side of the upper surface and a protruding semi-circular knop on each side at the distal end of the ridge. Part of the animal's neck also forms part of the terminal and on one side there are two incised lines, which form a narrow V-shape. The closest parallels in David Williams' Datasheet on stirrup terminals are numbers 4e and 4f.
Dimensions: 30.41mm by 15.83mm by 14.96mm
