Description: | A cast copper-alloy stirrup terminal mount of Williams group 4, dating to the 11th century.The mount is rectangular in plan, U-shaped in section, and rectangular in profile with a gently hooked projection. The outer surface of the mount is decorated in a zoomorphic fashion, moulded. The hooked projection forms the snout of the beast, with lozenge-shaped eyes on each side of the main body. A moulded collar indicates the back of the head. The surface has suffered some corrosion, obscuring some of the detail of the mount.
