Description: | Medieval copper alloy bar-mount with two surviving rivets, c.1200-1500. The mount measures 16.4mm in length and is 8.8mm at its widest part. It weighs 1.3g.
The mount is shaped as a bar with a central circular dome and smaller circular domed knobs at each end, it is flat backed. The central dome is 5.5mm long by 8.8mm wide by 3.7mm thick with 6 incised lateral lines running across it and a small hole caused by damage on one side. The end knobs are 3.6mm long by 4.6mm wide and 2.3mm thick.
Both end knobs are pierced by rivets which have been filed completely flush with the front surface. On the back these end knobs have central circular holows through which they are riveted. These hollows contain a whitish material, possibly lead alloy solder. The rivets are circular in section, 1.4mm in diameter and project 1.2mm from the back of the mount. The ends have been flattened to create projecting lips. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
