Early Medieval 11th century Viking stirrup mount, incomplete, Williams Class A Type 12 (Williams, 1997, 'Late Saxon Stirrup-Strap Mounts', CBA Res Rep 111, p69 & pp71-74). Lozenge-shaped openwork mount with central diagonal cross with a lozenge shaped aperture in each quarter. There is a circular boss at the centre of the cross and at each junction of the cross with the frame, and at the side and bottom corners of the frame - a total of eight bosses in all. The apex of the mount, which would have formed a loop, is missing, broken off just above the upper junctions of the cross with th…

A large cast copper alloy stirrup strap mount of 11th century AD date. This example is of Williams Class A, Type 1. It is sub-triangular and measures 57.89mm by 48.16mm by 3mm and weighs 41g. The top is rounded and both sides are curvilinear, with three rounded projections on each side. It has a single rivet hole at the top and another in the centre of the angled flange at the base. The latter is filled with iron corrosion. The surfaces are quite worn and it is not possible to discern the decoration on the front.

A copper alloy stirrup strap mount, Class A Type 13 (Williams 1997, 76 fig. 48 338-9). The mount is lozenge-shape with three lozenge-shaped lobes. The upper of these is pierced with a circular hole and the two side lobes contain circular bosses. There is a central recessed lozenge that is pierced with a circular hole (unlike other examples in Williams 1993). The lower edge has a lobe on each side, defined by lines radiating from a central, lower pierced hole, above a straight lower edge. On the reverse this forms a right-angled flange that protrudes by 9.49mm.

A corroded copper-alloy late Anglo-Saxon stirrup terminal. This terminal is roughly rectangular in plan, flaring towards its terminal. It measures 38.4mm in length, 11.6mm in width at its upper end and 15.5mm in width at its terminal end, it is 9.6mm in thickness. At the top of the front face of this stirrup terminal there is a rectangular moulding. The back face is hollow to accomodate the missing iron stirrup. The inside of the back face is heavily corroded and corrosion has eaten through the terminal end creating a small irregularly shaped hole. This stirrup terminal is simila…

A worn cast copper-alloy probable late early medieval stirrup terminal. Rectangular in plan but U-shaped in cross-section measuring 14.3mm in length and 9mm in width with a thickness of 8.3mm. The front face is arched and the back face hollow, to accomodate an iron stirrup and has corrosion products within it. There are two parallel oval protrusions from either side of the upper edge of the sides of the front face, these could possibly represent ears. There is also a transverse groove at the base of the front face which could represent a mouth. This probable stirrup terminal could…

A complete and very unusual copper-alloy late Anglo-Saxon stirrup strap mount. This mount is most similar to Williams Class A type 1 mounts, as it is pentagonal in shape and has an engraved design on its front face (Williams 1997, 26-27, fig 19). However, it does not have a knobbed profile or rounded pendant lobe as type 1 does, but rather has straight angular sides and a circular hole measuring 5mm in diameter through a triangular shaped upper terminal. In shape it is rectangular for two thirds of its length and then tapers to a point, forming a triangular shape for its last third, i…

An incomplete copper-alloy stirrup strap mount of Williams Class B type 3 group 4 (Williams 91-92, fig 57, no 436-438). Only the upper half of this strap mount survives, the rest is missing due to an old break, now worn. It is open work and trapezoidal in shape measuring 44mm in width and 27mm in surviving length. It has four upper circular apertures and the upper edge has triangular shaped protrusions along it. There is a single central projecting zoomorphic head, which is mouse/bat-like in character. The oval shaped ears and circular eyes are excentuated with decorative grooves. A…

A cast copper alloy stirrup strap mount (length: 44.5mm; width: 32mm; thickness: 16mm; weight: 24.31g). It has been classified by David Williams as a Class B, Type 4 mount (East Anglian-type face mounts). The edges of the mount are scalloped down the sides with a rounded tip at the top where the upper fixing hole is situated. There are slight incised markings at the top but there are stronger defined features below in the form of three grooved ridges and lines that radiate from below the fixing hole. A stylistic human face appears below these lines with well defined eyebrows and slant…

Copper alloy stirrup strap mount of Williams class A type 5. It has a pentagonal frame with a tapering, elongate point uppermost. There are two 'tendril' round ended projections running along the sides of the point. This joins to form a bar which would have terminated in the apex loop which is missing. The bar is D-sectioned. There was probably line decoration inside the frame but this has been obscured by corrosion. The back is undecorated. There is the stub of the iron spike at the base, in the middle above the flange.

The mount is sub-triangular in plan and when complete, would have had a tri-lobed apex loop. This part of the mount is broken and missing, so that only part of the loop survives. The breaks are old. Just below the loop is a replacement hole with the corroded remains of an iron rivet. As viewed in plan, the sides are convex and flare outwards to rounded corners and a horizontal base. The base has a rearward projecting …
