Description: | A worn, copper alloy Early Medieval stirrup strap mount, class A type. The mount is sub-triangular with a flat lower edge and slightly curving side edges. There is a projecting lobe for a suspension loop (broken) at the apex, with vestigial side lobes. The mount has two adjacent fixing holes in the bottom edge, now filled with iron corrosion products. There is a shallow right-angled flange on the reverse.
The surface is worn but the moulded decoration on the front side appears to represent a four-legged animal (probably a lion) walking to the right. Three legs are visible, with large, rounded feet. The animal's front leg and head are raised, towards an oval object near the apex. | 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
