Description: | A bent and corroded copper-alloy bar mount of probable 13th or 14th century date (see G. Egan and F. Pritchard; 1991; pp. 209-215).The piece is sub-rectangular in plan, narrowing slightly towards the centre. The upper surface is slightly convex and the underside is flat. Projecting from each end is a pointed lobe. The mount would have been attached to a belt by two copper-alloy rivets, which were located one at each end of the rectangular section; one of these domed rivets survives in-situ. The upper surface of the object has traces of silvering or tinning.The mount measures 31.6mm long, 7mm wide and 7.5mm thick (including the rivet). The weight is 2.39g.
