Description

11th century A.D.. Triangular in profile with openwork Urnes Style interlace, attachment pins to lower corners (one absent). Cf. Williams, D., Late Saxon Stirrup-Strap Mounts, York, 1997, item 192. 11.2 grams, 41 mm (1 5/8 in.).

The design is clearly based on the contemporary stirrup mount style with dense openwork interlace and attachment points; the item lacks the rear ledge and attachment stud of the true mounts.

Found near York, UK. From an old private collection of Norfolk, UK, gentleman, formed since 1998.
