A very worn, cast copper alloy late Early Medieval zoomorphic stirrup terminal, of the Anglo-Scandinavian period. The upper part of the terminal is a hollow U-shaped triangle, one return of which is missing from an old worn break. The U-section tapers to an internal ledge on which the iron footrest of the stirrup would have been located and soldered. An internal cusp leads to a solid triangular projection the outside face of which is moulded, probably representing a zoomorphic beast's head, but is now far too worn and eroded to be resolvable as such. The form of…
