Description: | Cast copper alloy bar mount. The expanded central lobe is decorated with four transverse incised lines, and some short longitudinal lines which cross one or two of the transverse lines - possibly a crude attempt at cross-hatching. The rounded terminals each have a single rivet hole with surviving rivet. The back of the central lobe and each of the terminals are hollowed. There are a dimple and two tiny holes (c.0.1-0.2mm diameter) in the centre of the mount, in one of the transverse lines. These are unlikely to be functional, probably a casting fault. Length 18.58mm, width 11.14mm, thickness (including rivets) 6.14mm, weight 1.56g. Egan (1993) publishes three similar mounts but solid and with definite cross hatching on the central lobe, from contexts dated to 1350-1400 (p213-4, fig 134, no.1160-1162).
