Description: | A fragment of an Early Medieval cast copper-alloy zoomorphic stirrup strap mount of Anglo-Scandinavian association, dating to c. 11th century AD. Thomas Type B. The stirrup strap mount is of semicircular cross-section which encloses traces of the iron stirrup arm in the hollow shaft on the reverse and a small supporting ledge. The stirrup strap mount is decorated in the form of an animal's head, with an elongated snout with traces of curved nostrils at the end that flare outwards. Traces of elongated eyes, eyebrows, forehead and ears are visible, but destroyed by severe surface wear. The upper part o the terminal is incomplete but some of the collar survives. Cf. Williams (Datasheet 24, Finds Research Group 700-1700), p. 2, fig. b.
