Object type: STIRRUP
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Swansea
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Near-complete Late Anglo Saxon stirrup strap mount, probably of 11th century date. The stirrup is unusual with a beast's head protruding downwards from the base of the mount (23mm deep). One other example with a protruding head has been recorded from Stoke Hammond, Bucks (Williams D., 1997, no. 383, p84). Features on the head are now difficult to discern, but the cast decoration appears to depict a snarling snout with four sharp teeth protruding from the underside. The panel is concave with a surviving height of 32.4mm and parallel sides with a width of 32.6mm. The panel is decorated …

Late Saxon copper alloy stirrup strap mount, probably of 11th century date. The mount is of Williams (1997) Class B and likely to be of type 3, and possibly Group 4. The mount is openwork with a devolved zoomorphic design, which is now little more than a perforated central dome. The mount is trapezoidal with a height of 35.7mm and a maximum width at the top of 30.5mm (minimum width at the flange of 24.0mm). The openwork decoration along the sides has broken through at the edges. The flange is angled (Williams Type C) and has the remnants of two iron rivets in situ. Two further attachm…

Complete Late Saxon cast copper alloy stirrup-strap mount, of class A, type 7 (Williams 1997), probably dating from 11th to 12th century. The mount is sub-triangular in shape with two pairs of lugs on the sides. The apex is rounded and pointed, and has suffered from erosion. These terminals typically incorporate a zoomorphic design, and a number of low ridges visible on the terminal are likely to be the remnants of facial features. Below the upper fixing hole, the raised border defining the sides, flare out forming scrolls. The interior of the mount displays the characteristic central…

Late Anglo Saxon stirrup-strap mount, probably of 11th century date. The stirrup mount is copper alloy with a zoomorphic design. It has only one perforation through its upper apex, and in this respect, is unusual. While the mount could still be attached as a stirrup mount, it would be unstable, and may not have utilised a fitting behind the stirrup strap. The piece has a pentagonal design with the upper end rising in a sharp curve to a point, which surrounds the perforation. The bottom flange is narrow and at a right angle to the body of the mount - type A (Williams 1997). The design …

Late Saxon stirrup-strap mount, probably of 11th century date. The mount is likely to fall into Williams (1997) Class A, Type 2A. The mount is sub-triangular and convex in profile. Much of the surface detail has been lost, but it is possible to discern an animal head at the apex, above the upper fixing hole. There are a further two animal heads projecting from the corners at the base. The sides of the mount are slightly curved and without any projecting lobes. The lower fixing holes retain their iron rivets, and are positioned immediately above and inside the corner head projections. …

Early medieval, Late Anglo-Saxon copper alloy stirrup terminal mount of middle to late 11th century date
The mount is one of a pair which would have decorated the terminals of an iron stirrup. The mount is complete (with a length of 46.4mm and a weight of 19.2g) and the rear of the mount is open-backed and would accommodate a circular sectioned stirrup (with a socket length of 40.3mm and of 7.3mm diameter). The interior of the terminal is angled to produce a slight under-cut ledge. There is no evidence for the iron remnants of the stirrup within the socket. The mount depicts an e…

Early medieval, Late Anglo Saxon copper alloy stirrup strap mount of 11th century date
The stirrup strap mount is of Williams’ (1997)[1] Type A, Class 5 mounts and is near-complete, missing the loop at the apex (with a surviving length of 47.7mm and a weight of 19.7g) and is heavily worn. The mount was attached using a single iron rivet and the remains of the iron fitting survive on the rear. The flange (with a depth of 9.0mm) is near-perpendicular to the mount and is as wide as the mount. The damaged loop appears to have been within the jaws of a beast at the terminal, with m…
