Stirrup Mount (LEIC-C97582)

A copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount found near Peckleton, Leicestershire

This example of a copper-alloy stirrup-strap mount is decorated with an interlaced design forming two ‘serpents’ interrupted by nine circular holes. It is similar to mounts of William Class A Type 1 but the holes and its large size match Class C mounts more closely.
