Description: | A copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount dating to the late Early medieval or early medieval period, circa 1025-1100. The mount is of William's class A, type 4. The mount is pentagonal in form with a rounded apex and flat rearward lip. The face is decorated with an incised perimeter perhaps depicting an abstract downward biting animal-head. A small knop occurs either side below the apex. The main panel is oval and depicts a bear/animal head in the centre, apparently on a background of a plant or tree motif. There are two holes at the base, two smaller holes below the head, a larger hole either side of the snout, and a single hole below the apex.
