Description: | An incomplete and very worn cast copper-alloy Early-Medieval/Anglo-Scandinavian stirrup-strap mount of Williams' Class A Type 1. It is missing the top of the suspension loop and the base of the plate and flange due to old breaks. The plate is flat, roughly pentagonal in form with projecting transverse lobes at the apex where there is an incomplete semi-circular suspension loop. At the base of the mount is an integrally cast rectangular flange set at an angle of 45 degrees, the outer edge and one end of which is now missing due to old breaks. The front face of the mount is extremely worn to the extent that none of the original decorative elements remain visible. It measures 48.78mm in length (partially bent), 33.79mm in width, 2.29mm in thickness and 16.30g in weight.This is an Early-Medieval/Anglo-Scandinavian stirrup mount. Its form and decorative elements suggest it belongs in Williams' Class A Type 1 mounts (Williams, 1997: pp. 26-34). This indicates a date range for the object in the 11th century AD.
