Description: | An incomplete copper alloy stirrup strap mount of late Early-Medieval date. The mount is of Williams Class B, Type 2, Group 3. It is broadly triangular in plan with curvilinear sides and a rounded projecting knop to the surviving terminal. The opposite end terminates in worn breaks. The mount has an openwork design comprising four sub-circular perforations and a larger perforation which forms part of the broken edge. Further moulded decoration is present on the upper surface which is likely to be zoomorphic in nature. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The metal has a mid-reddish-brown patina and is worn. The stirrup strap mount is 34.6mm long, 28.6mm wide, 3mm thick and weighs 10.9g.
