Description: | A cast copper alloy bar-mount with a central circular lobe cast integrally to two square knops - one at the top and one at the bottom of the mount. The mount is domed. The central circular lobe has been decorated with three raised horizontal lines. Each knop houses a rivet hole. The lower rivet hole still contains a copper alloy rivet. The rivet extends backwards from the mount. A small triangular plate is held in place by this rivet and it extends downwards from the main body of the mount. The metal surface of the object is dark brownish-green in colour and slightly worn. The mount probably dates to the 13th - 15th century. Two of these bar mounts would have hung down from a waist strap and would have held an arched pendant mount in position. Purses were often hung from these. Parallels can see seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p214, Fig: 134.
