Description: | A copper alloy bar mount/fitting (probably Medieval). The mount is flat on the reverse. There is a raised central circular dome (reverse is hollow) that is decorated with incised crosshatched lines. On either side of the dome are two triangular arms with large triangular perforations. The longer edges of these are decorated with three bands of pairs of parallel incised lines. The shorter edges are constricted, possibly through wear. Dark green matt patina. The object is similar to sidelinks on a horse's bridle (Biddle 1990:1043) but these tend to have circular attachment projections for the strap and they are larger than this example. Dimensions: length: 40.57mm; width: 10.02mm; thickness: 5.24mm; weight: 7.35g. Biddle, M. 1990. Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester. Oxford University Press.
