Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy mount of medieval date. Elaborate bar mount which, it is suggested, dates from c.1230 - 1260 AD (Read, B. 2001, Metal artefacts of antiquity, Portcullis Publishing). The bar is triangular in section and has one surviving decorative lug, the other having been broken off. This lug is roughly semi-circular and has a pointed protrusion at its distal end. It is separated from the bar by a single curved indentation on each side. These indentations also exist at the opposite end of the mount but the rest of the lug is missing. The surface of the object retains traces of gilding. It measures 47mm long by 12.7mm wide and 3.4mm thick. It weighs 5.70g. | 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: | 1230
