Description: | Large cast copper alloy sub-rectangular bar mount with a suspension loop, both D-shaped in section, most likely of late Medieval date. On the upper surface there are two very slightly raised, irregular longitudinal ridges down the centre. At one end there are two very slightly raised, slightly irregular transverse ridges, with the suspension loop below. The suspension loop narrows from the mount is bent into a roughly U-shape hook (maximum W. 7.25mm, minimum W. 4.1mm). The end of the suspension loop may be missing, but the break, if there is one, is old. There are traces of gilding on the upper surface of the bar-mount. The reverse is generally flat however there are two integral spikes or rivets, circular in section and tapering to slightly rounded ends, protruding from the reverse surface of the bar mount, one at each end (maximum L. 4.5mm). Patchy red-brown patina. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1066
