Description: | Early Medieval stirrup-strap mount that is sub- triangular in shape with a short arm surmounted by an integral loop projecting from the top. The face is decorated with a simple interlaced knotwork pattern that forms the body of an animal, the head of the beast is in the bottom centre of the plate. The artefacts is heavily worn and corroded which has resulted in the loss of a considerable amount of detail, this object also looks to have been robustly cleaned. There is a rearwards facing projection at the base of the plates with a single rivet hole in the centre. This is an example of Williams class A type 17 and dates to the 11th century.
