Description: | 11th century stirrup strap mount, Williams Class A, Type 1. Pentagonal copper alloy mount wih incised, roughly symmetrical, linear design. Three knops on either side, three rivet holes (one at the top and two at the bottom) and a flange projecting at c.90° from the base of the reverse. Some traces of iron staining around the bottom two rivet holes on the reverse. Length 43.95mm, width 29.95mm, thickness (across base & flange) 7.25mm, thickness (not including flange, transversely) 2.85mm, weight 18.86g. The design is similar to that on a stirrup strap mount from Huncote, Leics, now in Jewry Wall Museum (William, 1997, 'Late Saxon Stirrup-strap Mounts; a Classification and Catalogue', p29 & p32, fig 20, no.21). The incised design is a debased version of a pair of addorsed beasts beneath a pendant lobe, as seen on other mounts of this type.
