Description: | A large but incomplete cast copper-alloy bar mount with central and terminal lobe. Following an old break one of the bars has been lost at the point where it met the central lobe. The extant bar only tapers slightly to its terminal. The bar is sub-hemispherical in section. There is a transverse ridge which delineates the terminal lobe. This latter retains its copper-alloy rivet and is recessed on the reverse. The central lobe is similarly recessed and features a central circular perforation 5mm in diameter. The mount is plain, and is sizeable for its type. A similar mount (although considerably smaller) is illustrated in Egan (1991, 214; ref. 1158) and is dated between c.1270 and c.1350. | 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: | 1270
