Description

Anglo-Scandinavian Viking Bronze Apex Stirrup Mount
11th century A.D. With pentagonal body bearing zoomorphic designs, pierced close to the apex for attachment to a stirrup-strap, with two holes close to the lower edge and ledge to the reverse; Williams's Class A Type 16. Cf. Williams, D., Late Saxon Stirrup-Strap Mounts, York, 1997, item 361, for type. 22.39 grams, 47 mm (1 7/8 in.).

Found Hampshire, UK. This mount is not typical of the Class but the trilobe 'topknot' at the apex is clearly based on the design of Type 16 with a facing animal-head.
