Description: | Cast copper alloy stirrup fragment, sub-rectangular in plan and trapezoidal in profile, with an rectangular socket that is 33 mm long and 5 mm wide. The stirrup has an integral expanded front plate that is 16 mm high, but missing some of the upper edge, and moulded with three transverse ridges which are most defined at the sides of the fragment where they are 6 mm thick. Above the raised border that is 6 mm thick, there is a rectangular panel engraved with zig-zags in a parallel band with arcs above. The plate at the back of the stirrup is plain and is 10 mm in height. Both of the broken sides have worn into rounded edges and the foot-rest is missing.Read (1988) illustrates a stirrup fragment with similar decoration on page 90, no.546, which is dated from the 14th century.Clark (2004) illustrates similar complete stirrups on page 73, fig.55, no.85 and MoL O2587, which are dated from the 14th century.
