Description: | A damaged late early-medieval cast copper-alloy stirrup terminal (11th century AD). The hollow back would have enclosed one of the arms of the lower part of the stirrup (Williams 1997, 1). The recess is central with a lower supporting ledge. Within the recess are corroded traces of the iron stirrup and possible lead solder to either side. The terminal is trilobate, of a flared foot like form. The flat lower surface is broadly semicircular in cross-section. At the top of the foot is a moulded transverse band. The narrowed element above has been broken as a result of old damage. In form this terminal is directly comparable with one illustrated in Williams 1997, 3; fig. 5). The metal has corroded to a red-brown colour with some lighter areas of corrosion product.
