An incomplete copper-alloy medieval stirrup, of Medieval dating (c. 14th century AD). Around 25% of the stirrup is present, consisting only of the attachment end with a trapezoidal cover plate. The arms and foot rest are missing, presumed lost in antiquity. At the attachment end is a trapezoidal cover-plate, expanded at its base. The object has a trapezoidal cover-plate with a double collar border around its base and a smooth top edge, which is bevelled and well worn. The border does not, in this example, continue onto the side plates, which are angled at approximately 75 degree…

An incomplete, copper alloy object of unknown date, potentially part of a stirrup terminal of early Medieval date (c. AD 1000-1100). The object is irregularly shaped. It starts at the top as more trapezoidal in plan, expanding from 15.34mm wide to 19.29mm over a distance of c. 14.25mm. Beneath this it narrows to 17.20mm and gradually expands to 18.81mm over a distance of c. 10.75mm. At this point, it becomes more semi-circular in plan, with the left edge arching to the left before returning towards the right in an irregular manner, creating two seemingly rounded projections near the b…
