Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount of 11th century date (Williams Class A Type 1). It is roughly pentagonal in plan with a slightly concave base. The suspension loop and the upper part of the mount are missing. A rebated flange projects at about 90° from the rear face, near the base. There are two rivet holes. One is filled with the remains of an iron rivet and the other is empty and has a diameter of 3.1mm. At the front there is scant the remains of two engraved addorsed beasts. However, much of the design is lost due to corrosion. The front is a reddish brown colour and the rear has traces of a dark green patina. 41.7 x 30.3 x 9.0mm. Weight: 17.68g. For similar examples, see Williams1997: 26-34.
