Description: | A copper alloy medieval bar mount from a belt. It is 53.9mm long, 11.5mm wide and 3.6mm thick. The mount consists of a circular central area with a circular hole in the middle. This circular element is set in the centre of a long bar, with a slight collar on either side. The bar tapers away from the centre towards a rounded terminal at each end. There is a rivet hole in each terminal. The reverse is flat except for one surviving rivet. Mount of this type are fairly common and examples can be seen on page 214 of Egan's "Dress Accessories". It is believed that several would have been arranged on a belt or harness strap to provide strengthening and decoration during the medieval period.
