Copper alloy and iron stirrup mount. Cast sub-triangular copper alloy plate with a thick stepped basal flange projecting at an oblique angle. The copper alloy plate bears symmetrical moulded decoration in a sunken field, Williams Class A Type 2B, possibly representing two beasts facing each other and looking upwards at a globe which may itself depend from moulded strips below the apical trefoil top, which is spurred to achieve that form. Three heavy iron fixing pins pass through the plate at its apex and towards either bottom corner. This type is most commonly reported – three ex…

Copper alloy stirrup side terminal, as kindly identified by Alex Bliss. Alex comments: '11th century zoomorphic stirrup side terminal (basal fragment), rotate image 90 degrees anticlockwise for correct orientation. Compare Record ID: NMS-AEAD1B - EARLY MEDIEVAL stirrup (finds.org.uk)'. Cast zoomorphic object representing the ears, mask and upturned snout of a boar, rendered in rounded moulded detail and detailed with sparingly distributed angled incised cuts at the base of the ears, at the eyes and at the nostrils, and diagonally across the upper proximal part of…

Copper alloy stirrup mount. Cast sub-triangular plate with a drilled hole at its trefoil [one branch lost] apex, and with a basal flange set at an obtuse angle and projecting back, immediately above two drilled holes of diameter 3.5mm, A bordered field on the display face portrays a pair of small and possibly addorsed figures within a broad border, Williams Class A Type 2. The border is carried to the top of the plate to contribute a layered knotted appearance there, and further strands are carried up from the base to pass under the figures.

Copper alloy stirrup mount. Cast openwork stirrup mount with offset basal flange, Williams Class B Type 3 Group 1. A straight-sided plate rises to a three-pointed top. The distinguishing feature of this type is a single protruding beast head with rounded mouse-like ears and large oval eyes below the continuous line of brow and snout. A pair of drilled holes pass through the ears, with four oval or comma-shaped holes surrounding the beast head. A line of three holes are drilled above the  larger holes, and there are two [diameter 3.5mm] drilled through the flange. Incised lines pas…

Copper alloy stirrup mount, as kindly identified by Rob Webley, who comments: 'This looks rather like it is from an 11th-century stirrup - either as a terminal or a collar mount. Plenty of examples on the database with which to compare'. Cast U-profile concavo-convex anthropomorphic mount, perhaps from the edge of a stirrup. The display face bears the image of a face or mask with prominently arched brows, hollows to either side of a central nasal ridge as eyes, and with a luxuriant horizontal moustache; the forehead and chin, the latter perhaps bearded, are formed by the upper …

A copper alloy Medieval probable stirrup dating from AD 1200 - 1400. Only a fragment survives, part of the suspension loop and part of the side. Two bars of rectangular section extend across the top of the stirrup, forming a recatngular slot between them. They extend from the side pieces which is of circular section. An incised X decoates the point where the lower bar meets the side. The probable stirrup has a patchy black and green patina. It is 39mm wide, 8.5mm thick and 33.7mm tall. 32.03g. Compare number 2 in figure 25 on page 91 of Ward Perkins (1940) London Museum Medieval catal…

Copper alloy stirrup mount. Cast sub-triangular zoomorphic mount, Williams Class A type 8. The object's form is defined by symmetrically interlaced creatures. At the apex of the triangle is a small zoomorphic beast head with rounded flat-ended snout, eyes either side of a nasal ridge, and with ears flattened back suggested by continuation either side of a small [diameter 2.4mm] drilled aperture. The line of these features may be followed as strands bulging from either side of the object with moulded apertures on their inner sides. The larger part of the design is formed by symmetrical…

Iron possible stirrup fragment. Wrought iron bar, now of rectilinear section though this might arise from corrosion, with a narrowed upper end and thickened towards a sharply kinked end. The configuration matches that presented for later medieval stirrups from London, which would have been of triangular form with a top loop for the leathers (Clarke 1995, fig.55 no. 83). Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1500. Length: 84.8mm, Width: 8.8mm, Thickness: 7.6mm, Weight: 17.94gms.

Iron possible stirrup. Wrought iron triangular frame, of probably rectangular section. The object is not broadened at the putative foot rest, which together with the light construction must introduce som doubt as to its identification. A D-section bar projecting from the apex of the triangle may represent a loop, though this has been opened, broken or subjected to considerable force to lie as it does now, oriented downwards. Suggested date: possibly Medieval, 1250-1400. Height: 95mm, Width: 115mm, Thickness: 6mm, Weight: 52.22gms.

Copper alloy and iron possible stirrup mount fragment. An iron object sheathed in copper alloy. The fragment appears to bear zoomorphic decoration, with a pair of gaps in the copper alloy sheath which may have represented a head with eye or eyes at a terminal, with a spur or collar behind it and the suggestion of banding along a thin body. The style is compatible with Anglo-Scandinavian work, though exactly what the complete object was remains uncertain. The corrosion of the iron appears to have burst the copper alloy around it, splitting the latter along one side. Suggested date: Ear…

Copper Alloy mount with decoration has been crudely added with a semi-circular punch and as diagonal lines perhaps contributing to a zoomorphic scheme. A central circular hole of diameter 4.6mm appears intended for fixing, as the decorative apertures are all more elongated. Suggested date: Early Medieval , 1000-1100. Height: 40.41mm, Width: 25.4mm, Thickness: 2.8mm, Weight: 10.02gms.

A cast copper-alloy stirrup terminal. The zoomorphic terminal is in the form of the head and neck of a beast. The head is D-shaped in section and the neck is of a much more rounded rectangular section. The end of the neck expands slightly outwards and has a incised collar on the flat underside. At the back of the head is a pair of large rounded ears. The eyes are hollow and the nose is incomplete. Through the centre of the terminal is an iron shaft, which protrudes from either end. The neck of the beast is covered in iron corrosion from the iron shaft. The length is 44.4mm, the width i…
