Description: | The strap mount is made from cast copper alloy. It is a bar mount with central lobe. The length of the mount is 25mm and it is 11.6mm wide.
In plan the mount has a central sub-oval shaped lobe. The lobe in proflie is a semi-circular shape, and is hollow on the reverse. The lobe is decorated with five horizontal linear grooves which has some cross-hatching visible on the sides, the apex ofthe lobe is worn. Protruding from two opposite sides of the central lobe are two sub-rectangular shaped arms which expand in width slightly at the terminal The arms are also semi-circular in section, but are more shallow than the central lobe. At the terminal of the arms there is a single circular rivet hole.
The surface of the mount has a dark green coloured patina.
Egan and Pritchard consider these to be belt mounts. In Egan and Pritchard there is a very similar example, No. 1161, which only differs in size. These mounts tend to date to between mid 12th to mid 14th centuries. | Subjects: | Bar Strap | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
