A complete late early-medieval copper alloy stirrup terminal with a front trefoil finial. The front and sides are decorated at the top with two transverse grooves, the space between which curves outwards. The plate projects straight downwards to the centre of the plate and has no visible decoration. Here, the edges of the plate form a C-shaped curve on either side towards the trefoil, creating a projecting knob in the centre of the plate. The lateral foils are curved, the right being more convex than the left, and the central foil is sub-circular. The object has an uneven surface patin…

One arm terminates in an expanded lozenge-shaped loop formed around an oval aperture. The lozenge form teminates on three sides with a rounded knop. The other three arms have old breaks and are missing the lozenge shaped loop. The boss is concave on the reverse. T…

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…

An incomplete copper alloy Late Early Medieval Anglo-Scandinavian zoomorphic stirrup terminal of 11th Century dating. The face is decorated with a moulded zoomorphic beast's head, this has expanded flaring nostrils at the base above which a high transvers ridge forms a brow that mounts two lentoid shaped bulging eyes. Finally above the brow ridge are two small semi-circular protrusions forming the ears. Just below the top there is a prominent ridge which does not extend to the rear. The reverse has a hollow concave back that forms the socket for the sidearm of the stirrup, with …
