10th-12th century AD. A bronze mount, slightly convex to the reverse, formed as a clean-shaven male face modelled in the half-round, with almond eyes and scrolled plaques to the brow, angular nose and chin; the nose with large transverse hole to accept a ring or loop. See Williams, D. Late Saxon Stirrup-Strap Mounts, York, 1997. 50 grams, 46mm (1 3/4"). From an old Munich collection; acquired on the German art market before 2000. The facial features bear a resemblance to those found on 11th century Anglo-Scandinavian stirrup mounts (Williams, items 464, 465). The slight curvature to the reverse of the mount suggests that it was intended to be fixed to a curved surface, such as the outer face of a bucket, cauldron or bowl, but the absence of a stud or holes for rivets indicates that the mount cannot have been load-bearing. It is therefore likely that it was an adornment.
