Description: | Cast copper alloy stirrup terminal 17.5mm long, 9.5mm wide, 7.5mm deep, weight 4.03. The artefact is shaped like an animal head with a narrowed snout at one end. The snout is plain, facial detail are represented by a curving ridge running across the object halfway down its length. The back is concave with large amounts of lead on the inside. The surface is heavily corroded. This type of artefact would have been attached to the bottom corner of a stirrup, artefacts such as this are thought to be Anglo-Scandinavian dating to the 11th century.
