MEDIEVAL STIRRUP
1000
A Medieval copper alloy stirrup mount, 11th century. It is a very crude example of triangular shape with a central hole and measures 43mm by 34mm. It shows traces of a, now very abraded, lion with its head facing backwards (missing from the drawing). It may be categorised as a Class A Type 11C (Williams, D. 1997. Late Saxon Stirrup-Strap Mounts - A Classification and Catalogue, page 67-9).
