Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy medieval bar mount which would have been attached to a strap. It is small and sub-hemispherical in form. The central lobe is crossed crudely by six, slightly diagonal, transverse incisions which create five ridges. The two smaller perforated side lobes both have their rivets extant. Similar bar mounts can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 23; fig. 12) and Egan and Pritchard (1991, 214; fig. 134) are dated to the second half of the fourteenth century. | Subjects: | Bar mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
