There is a small collared arm at either end, which has a narrowed waist and a knop terminal, one of the arms has been broken off at the base, this is an old break. A hole passes through the centre of the bar, this hole is also ovoid 8mm wide by 10mm long. Large curving arms would have been mounted on each of the arms and a large oval loop that would have been mounted on a swivel would have passed through the central hole, all are now missing. The overall condition is far with a rich green patina. Artefacts such as these date to the 15th to 16th century.
