Description: | Medieval mount; cast copper alloy bar mount of probable 13th or 14th century date. The mount is rectangular with a circular, copper alloy rivet fixed through at one end. The other end has a rivet hole in a similar position, although the rivet itself is missing. The mount is decorated one face with incised, angular interlace-type decoration forming repeating triangular motifs. There is gilding remaining across much of the face. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The mount has been bent into a curved shape but would originally have been flat and presumably fixed to a casket or strap.Length (as bent) 51.8mm, approximate length if straightened 57mm, width 12.1mm, thickness 1.4mm, weight 6.97g
