Description: | A cast copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount. It is a sub-rectangular shape in plan, however the upper edge is broken and may have a central incomplete rivet hole. The sides are moulded with a pair of integral knops protruding at the lower corners. The broken upper edge is not a recent break. The outer face is decorated with a high-relief simplistic animal who is missing their head due to the break. The lower edge has two rivet holes. The reverse of the mount is undecorated and along the lower edge there is a narrowed central flange. The surface of the mount is abraded and there is not trace of the original surface, instead it is a matte dark brown colour, including the broken edges. The mount measures 26.71mm long and 25.31mm wide. It weighs 12.5g.The mount is almost identical to Williams (1997 Late Saxon Stirrup Mounts: A Classification and Catalogue CBA Research Report 111), No. 133, which is classified as Class A, Type 8. These mounts tend to date to the 11th century.
