Description: | Cast copper alloy part of a later Medieval stirrup.It has broken into two pieces. Both of the two side arms are present and appear complete as they end in slightly rounded terminals. They have a sub-rectangular cross-section and narrow slightly towards the ends. The suspension loop, although broken, is complete and forms a rectangular shape. One side consists of a solid rectangle, the other side (that which has broken) is an openwork design. The design is three vertical rectangular perforations leaving four bars. The terminals of these bars extends above the main line giving a scalloped effect on the top and bottom. There is some decoration in the form of disgonal grooves forming a zig-zag pattern. It is missing the footrest which would have been parallel to the suspension loop.
