Description: | A cast copper alloy bar-mount with a large central circular lobe cast integrally to two roughly square knops - one at the top and one at the bottom of the mount. The circular mount is domed and has been decorated with six horizontal incised lines. The top and bottom knop each house a rivet holes and a copper alloy rivet. The metal surface of the object is mid brownish-green in colour and slightly worn. The mount probably dates to the 12th - 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.
