Iron stirrup with remains of copper alloy plating, heavy wide loop at top, notches on sides. Waterman 1959 describes it as "a more elaborate object for which it is difficult to suggest a date or origin, appearing to elude classification within the recognised series of English Viking Age stirrups and to have few points of resemblance with the forms in common use in Scandinavia. The bow is D-shaped, connected by a short neck of hexagonal section with the wide rectangular loop; the foot-rest is broad and flat, downturned and expanded at the ends, with flattened, bolster-shaped bosses above the junction with the arms of the bow. The face of the bow is cut away at regular intervals to provide a flat surface to which thin bronze plate, possibly gilt, has been introduced, between which the original surface appears as transverse ribs bearing simple engraved lines. Bronze plating is also preserved on the lower part of the head-loop and on one side of the neck, consisting of thin sheets of metal cut to the appropriate shape and attached to the iron apparently by some form of cement rather than by hammering; the expanded ends of the foot rest, below the side bosses, were similarly bronze plated, although this has now largely worn away.
