Cast copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount; Williams 1997, Type 7. Pear-shaped, with apex missing, but debased zoomorphic terminals beyond the base at either side. Three apertures along the upper edge (only half of the central one survives) and one in the centre at the bottom. Tree-like moulded central device. Very narrow right-angled flange with no trace of iron corrosion. This is an unusual example as it only has one, rather than the customary two basal holes, but three rather than one or two along the top, which is more common.
