Description: | A Late Early-Medieval (Anglo Saxon) copper alloy stirrup-strap mount of Williams Class A Type 12, dating to the 11th century. The mount is roughly diamond-shaped, with a right-angled flange at the base and a rounded loop at the apex. The decoration consists of four diamond or lozenge-shaped recessed closed panels, with 7 rounded bosses projecting from the panel frames. The reverse is undecorated. There are two large rivet holes in the flat base, which would have secured the mount to the stirrup, but due to part of the base being missing only one of the holes is complete. The mount is 40.81mm long, 26.31mm wide and weighs 14.29g. It has a light brown patina.Similar examples can be found in Williams (1997) p72. For a close parallel recorded on the PAS database see: BERK-31DC85.
