Description: | A probably incomplete Late Early-Medieval (c.1000-1100) copper alloy stirrup strap mount of Williams' Class A Type 9, with re-use as a pendant. It is missing the base and step, which have probably been filed off (David Williams 2011 pers.comm.).The mount stands 33.69mm high and is 31.79mm wide, weighing 11.25g. The reverse is slightly concave, the front slightly domed. It has a loop at the apex, pointed oval in shape and with a 3.81mm diameter central piercing.The mount depicts a human mask. It has large D-shaped eyes slightly recessed, and prominent nose and cheeks. Around the cheeks and arching across the eyes are interlacing ribbons which end in scrolls. The chin is lost (David Williams pers.comm.) and below the nose is an inverted U-shaped area, with a vertical notch below the nose and a horizontal incision below.
