Description: | Complete cast copper alloy bar mount of Medieval date, probably c. 1350 - c. 1400. Length 20mm, width 11mm and 3.2mm thick. Weight 1.76g. The main element of the mount is domed and sub-oval in plan with a hollow reverse. The front is decorated with five horizontal parallel grooves . At each end of the main element is a small projection to accommodate a rivet hole. The rivets are in situ and remain intact. A sub-rectangular rove survives with one of the rivets at the rear. Both rivet heads have been polished down to become almost invisible to the viewer. There is a dark brown patina largely obscured by patches of bronzes disease. | 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: | 1350
