Description: | A complete copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount dating to the late Anglo-Saxon period (11th century AD). The mount is roughly diamond-shaped, with a flat base and lugs at the corners and a double lug at the apex. There is a hole at the apex. The decoration consists of a raised stylised lis on a sunken background. There are two rivet holes located on the flanged base. Iron rivets are still in place and are heavily corroded. The reverse is undecorated.This stirrup-strap mount dates to the 11th century AD and can be classified as Williams Class A, Type 7 (Williams, D. 1997. CBA Reserach Report 111. Late Saxon Stirrup Strap Mounts. PFig. 31).
