Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy mount of Medieval date. The mount is of the bar type with a central and terminal lobes. One of the terminal lobes has been lost. The central, larger, lobe is decorated with crude cross-hatching. There is a single spike for attachment projecting from the centre of the reverse.
Mounts of this type were typically used to decorate leatherwork such as straps and belts. They are dated, based on excavated examples to c.1300-1400.
