Description: | a copper alloy medieval bar mount with pendent loop and lobed bar mount. The pendent loop is trilobate, with facetted sides, and is recessed in one loop for the rectangular bar mount. The pendent measures 18.85mm in length across the lobes, and the facetted sides are 2.5mm in width. The bar mount is rectangular, 11mm in folded width, 3.5mm in length, and doubled over around the pendent. It has two rivet holes at each terminal, which are aligned, the ones closest to the pendent being attached by a rivet to a further lobed mount. The second set of rivet holes are empty. The lobed bar mount has two small circular terminal lobes, one with the rivet attachment, and the other with a rivet hole. It has an expanded central lobe, which is domed and covered in crudely executed cross hatching. It measures 15.65mm in length and 9mm in width. Overall the assemblage of mounts and pendent measure 34.17mm in length, and weigh 3.15g. Egan and Pritchard illustrate similar pendent loops with bar mounts, which date to the fourteenth century.
