Object type: STIRRUP
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
The object is an Early Medieval stirrup mount. Stirrup mounts connected the leather strap of the harness to the stirrup. These mounts are thought to date to the 11th century. Williams (Williams, D. 1997 Late Saxon Stirrup Strap Mounts: A Classification and Catalogue) has produced a classification of these mounts.

In profile, it is a sub 'L' shape, with a protruding obliquely angled flange on the l…
