Iron, 13.07 grams, 42.81 mm. 10th-11th century AD. A good example of a rarer form of Anglo-Scandinavian stirrup-mount, Williams’s Type 13, mostly found in East Anglia. The overall shape is lozengiform with discoid extensions at the upper and lateral extremities. The lateral discoids each contain a cast boss, and a third boss is placed symmetrically towards the lower edge; the fourth ‘boss’ is the rivet-head (still in place) in the upper discoid. The central motif is an inset lozenge. Reference: Williams, D. Late Saxon Stirrup-Strap Mounts. A Classification and Catalogue, CBA Research Report 111, York, 1997, p.75, items 338-47 and fig.48. Very fine condition.
