Title
Early Medieval copper alloy strap end
Description
English: Late Early Medieval to early Medieval copper alloy stirrup strap mount (Williams class A, Type 1) dating to the period between 1000 and 1100 AD.

The mount is house-shaped in plan terminating at the apex in a pointed pendant lobe around the upper rivet hole, 3 mm in diameter, and at the base of the mount below there are two more rivet holes. The incised decoration is in the form of two beasts and with two heads upwardly curling and overlapping. From the heads issues a connecting sequence of loops, intending to form the animals' bodies, which are joined together in different positions with two stylised legs and central body.

This stirrup-strap mount can be classified as Williams Class A (Williams, D. 1997. CBA Reserach Report 111. Late Saxon Stirrup Strap Mounts.).

Length 53mm, width 31mm, thickness 3mm, weight 16.45g.
