Description: | Incomplete and abraded Late Saxon copper alloy stirrup-strap mount of Williams' (1997, 85-9) Class B Type 1, part of one side and of the top edge, one animal head, and one fixing hole missing. There are two iron-filled fixing holes in the angled flange and remains of the iron fitting on the reverse. Little detail survives on the two remaining animal heads apart from two lines that are probably engraved rather than cast. The presence of four apertures prevents the object from being allotted to one of Williams' three groups, but the overall form is closest to that of Group 2 (on which there is a fifth, centrally placed aperture). Height 37.5mm. Estimated width 36mm. 11th century.
