Description: | A cast copper alloy bar-mount with a central circular lobe cast integrally to two circular knops - one at the top and one at the bottom of the mount. The circular mount is domed and has a hole cut into it. The hole is countersunk.
Each knop houses a rivet hole. Both rivet holes still contains a copper alloy rivet. The rivet extends backwards from the mount.
The metal surface of the object is dark brownish-green in colour and slightly worn. The mount probably dates to the 12th - 15th century.
Two of these bar mounts would have hung down from a waist strap and would have held an arched pendant mount in position. Purses were often hung from these. Parallels can see seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p214, Fig: 134. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Clifford, Trista - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
