Description: | Copper alloy and ironPossible Stirrup Mount fragment. An iron object sheathed in copper alloy. The fragment appears to bear zoomorphic decoration, with a pair of gaps in the copper alloy sheath which may have represented a head with eye or eyes at a terminal, with a spur or collar behind it and the suggestion of banding along a thin body. The style is compatible with Anglo-Scandinavian work, though exactly what the complete object was remains uncertain. The corrosion of the iron appears to have burst the copper alloy around it, splitting the latter along one side. Suggested date: Early Medieval to Medieval, 850-1100.Length: 41mm, Width: 15.3mm, Thickness: 8mm, Weight: 12.48gms.
