Product Description
c.10th/11th Century A.D. A Late Anglo Saxon bronze Stirrup mount found in Norfolk and from a Norfolk collection. Of relatively plain trapezoid form but possibly once had an engraved design on one side, feint traces of which can just be made out in parts. Likely once silvered or gilded but now merely bronze. This mount would have secured the stirrup hoop to the leather down strap. Tiny lower corner piece last in antiquity otherwise totally intact and in good overall condition, an affordable example of the type, 54mm long x 27mm wide
