Description: | Copper alloy bar mount, medieval in date. A bar mount with a circular central lobe and a circular rivet hole at the top. This mount is not complete, there is only one rivet hole above the central circular lobe. There would have been another rivet hole at the bottom of this lobe but it has broken off. The lobe has a pattern of squares in relief across its surface. This type of mount would have decorated a leather strap and a similar example can be seen in Egans book, Dress Accessories (1991; 213/4, no.1161), which dates to c.1350-1400, although they would have been in use for a longer period than this.
