Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy zoomorphic stirrup terminal of Early-Medieval/Anglo-Scandinavian date. It is U-shaped in section with hollow back and moulded upper surface. The terminal has moulded zoomorphic decoration in relief comprising a projecting head of a beast with oval shaped ears that extend towards the collar. It has a bulging snout which extends to shallow globular oval shaped projections/nostrils at either side.This is an Early-Medieval stirrup terminal and of Anglo-Scandinavian manufacture with influences from the Ringerike and Urnes styles (Williams, 1997). It dates to the 11th century AD, and perhaps the second half of the century, with similar examples noted by Williams (1997: fig. 2)
