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 central mount is domed, it has been decorated with incised horizontal lines. Two separate rivets survive in situ, one in each of the terminal lobes. One of the rivets still holds in place a plate of broken copper alloy. 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.
