Description: | A worn but complete cast copper alloy stirrup strap mount of late early-medieval (Anglo-Scandinavian) date. The stirrup mount is a small example, measuring only 32.2mm high and 36.2mm wide. The mount is broadly plano-convex in plan, with three small rounded knops extending from low down either side and onefrom the base. The apex of the mount is bi-lobed. The cast design on the front of the mount is interlaced, possibly zoomorphic but it is hard to define. There are two circular rivet holes arranged centrally near the top and bottom of the mount. The reverse is plain but at the bottom retains most of the extending lip, which again has a single rivet hole centrally located.This stirrup strap mount is similar to Williams's Class A Type 17 mount (Williams 1997:78-79), but it does not fit neatly into this class. These objects are dated to the eleventh century AD.
