A copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount dating to the eleventh century AD. The cast copper-alloy mount is approximately triangular in plan, and very slightly convex in section. The apex of the mount possesses a small circular perforation. There is a further perforation, which is damaged, on the right hand edge of the mount and two further circular perforations in the angles of the base of the mount. The upper surface of the mount is decorated with moulded decoration which is difficult to interpret, although it appears that an animal's head is situated between two of the perforations. The r…
