Description: | Medieval copper alloy bar-mount with one of two surviving rivets, c.1200-1500.
The mount measures 24mm in length and is 12mm at its widest part. It weighs 2.2g.
The mount has a square lug at the top with a pierced hole in the centre (c.2mm diameter) which then leads down to the body of the circular mount which is domed and has 6 incised lateral lines running across it. The central 3 lines have vertical incised lines running through them. At the bottom of the circular centre there is a circular lug containing the rivet which is still present. This is much narrower than the central part of the mount measuring 6mm across in comparison to 12mm.
On the reverse of the mount there is a white/grey patina in the dome of the mount and also around the rivet. The pierced hole on the square lug is wider on the reverse (although they are of the same size on the opposite side). | Subjects: | barred mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cannings, Alice - Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
