Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy Early Medieval stirrup terminal, dating to AD 1050-1100. It consists of a semi-cylindrical socket which has the outer face shaped with a zoomorphic motif. The edges of the socket are damaged and probably it would have had a circular cross-section enclosing completely the oblique arm of the stirrup. The stepped shape of the base of the socket was made to accomodate the stirrup corner where the oblique arm joins the foot plate. The inner faces of the socket have traces of the soldering. From the base of the outer face of the terminal an integral crested animal…
