Description: | A copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount of probable 11th century date.The vertical portion of the artefact consists of an openwork lozenge in which a central saltire divides four lozenge-shaped holes. At the centre of the upper surface is a circular moulding; seven further such mouldings are equally spaced around the mount, including one at each of the two outer points. At the top the lozenge extends into the rounded apex loop with circular perforation. At the base is a right-angled flange which projects backwards and is covered in iron corrosion, presumably from a corroded rivet. The object measures 46.2mm long, 28.8mm wide and 11.5mm deep. The weight is 17.17g.This is an example of a Williams Class A, Type 12 mount (see Williams 1997: 69-74).
