Object type: STIRRUP
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Monmouthshire
Workflow stage: Published
Late Anglo Saxon stirrup-strap mount, probably of 11th century date. The stirrup mount is copper alloy with a zoomorphic design. It has only one perforation through its upper apex, and in this respect, is unusual. While the mount could still be attached as a stirrup mount, it would be unstable, and may not have utilised a fitting behind the stirrup strap. The piece has a pentagonal design with the upper end rising in a sharp curve to a point, which surrounds the perforation. The bottom flange is narrow and at a right angle to the body of the mount - type A (Williams 1997). The design …

Copper alloy Colchester two-piece brooch, with plain and rounded bow. The slight remains of the catchplate reveal it to have been perforated. The upper hole in the lug is broken open while the lower hole is very close to the outer edge. The one remaining wing bears a diagonal groove, although this may be accidental. The bow has been bent into a tighter curve than was presumably intended and the head, complete with wing and lug, is twisted to one side.
