Description: | A copper-alloy bar mount of 13th to 14th century date. This is a common form of medieval mount; similar examples were found in excavations in London (see Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p. 214, nos. 1160 and 1161).
The central portion of the mount is oval in plan, domed and has a band containing four transverse ridges flanked by grooves. Projecting at the top and bottom is a rounded lobe, each containing a hole with an in-situ copper-alloy rivet. The reverses of both the central portion and the lobes are hollow.
The surfaces of the mount are slightly corroded. It measures 18.6mm long, 9.2mm wide and 4mm thick. The weight is 1.49g. | Subjects: | Bar | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
