Description: | A cast copper alloy bar-mount with a central circular lobe cast integrally to two circular knops - one at the top and one at the bottom of the mount. The mount is domed. Two separate rivets survive in situ in the terminal lobes. The metal surface of the object is dark grayish-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.
