Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy medieval bar mount, small and sub-hemispherical in form. The central lobe is crossed by a number of broadly diagonal incisions creating a hatched pattern. The two smaller perforated side lobes are missing their rivets. The object is similar to artefacts illustrated in Read (2001, 23; fig. 12) and Egan and Pritchard (1991, 214; fig. 134) which are dated to the second half of the fourteenth century. This artefact has corroded to a dull, dark grey colour with patches of lighter corrosion product.
