Copper alloy stirrup-strap mount, dating to the late Anglo-Saxon period (11th century) of Williams Class A, type 1. The mount is pentagonal in shape with small knops between six of the angles (one of these six is missing) and is slightly convex with an engraved design on the outer side which may have been inlaid. The strap mount has a 'stepped' flange (or tab) projecting at a right angle stepped slightly above the base of the mount. Just above the flange are two circular rivet holes, one of which still holds part of the iron rivet which would have attached it to the stirrup strap fitt…

This appears to be part of a stirrup mount of the late Viking Age type, though it does not conform closely to any of the examples shown in Williams's typology. It is a small and (unusually) rather thin casting, roughly trapezoidal in shape. Two holes appear along one of the cast edges, a straight edge behind which the sheet or casting is folded back in the manner typical of the stirrup-mounts. Taking this as the basal edge, the right side of the object follows an irregular outline, and the left side strikes out and then tapers in towards the top. The upper edge is definitely broken, s…

A copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount from the Early Medieval period (circa 1000-1200). This example is published in David William's book, Late Saxon Stirrup-strap mounts: A classification and catalogue (1997), No: 414. The stirrup-strap mount is an openwork, zoomorphic mount with angled flange. Williams' classification states that this mount is a Class B mount, Type 2, Group 1. Class B, type 2 mounts form a distinctive group of trapezoidal mounts with 'central heads and flanking, inward-looking beasts'. This example is complete. It is a debased copy of an example recorded from Tangmere …

A copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount from the Early Medieval period (circa 1000-1200). This example is a Class A, Type 1 Williams classification. The mount depicts an incised zoomorphic design which has been crudely executed. The design is meant to represent a beast in profile. The mount has an angled flange. This example is incomplete, as the outer edges of the mount have been heavily worn and are corroded. The surface design is also worn and corroded. The apex loop has been lost due to wear and corrosion. The corrosion product from two iron rivets remains in situ in the rivet holes an…

Copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount of Williams Class A, Type 11A, depicting a lion in high relief, in profile facing the left. The lion is looking upwards and its front paw is raised. Extra decoration has been added to the grooves forming the mane, which have a zig-zag line in the bottom. The tail curls between the legs and up over the back, and ends in a clockwise-spiralling tip (most of this class have a tail-tip that spiral the other way). Between the back and front legs the metal has a hole, probably the result of a mis-casting in this very thin area. The mount is basically triangu…

A copper-alloy stirrup terminal of probable Late Early Medieval date. The piece represents one of two original terminals from the basal points of the stirrup. It takes the form of a three dimensional moulded beast. The animal, which resembles a frog, is depicted lying down and facing upwards, its rounded back end forming the base of the terminal. The back legs form a right angle, the surface of one having moulded vertical striations and a scalloped upper edge, giving the appearance of a leaf. The very short body is slender, the front legs apparently not portrayed. The head is overl…
