Description: | Medieval hollow cast copper alloy bar mount, with collared lobed terminals, each with the remains of a copper alloy rivet, and larger central collared lobe. There is a casting fault on the central lobe. Length 58.49mm, width (central boss) 16.52mm, thickness (central boss) 6.38mm, weight 10.55g.
This is similar to smaller (c.20mm-35mm) bar strap mounts dating from the 13th-15th century (see Margeson 1993 p40, fig 23, no.286 & Egan & Pritchard 1991 p213, fig 134, no.s 1154, 1157, 1158). The size of this object indicates it may be a mount from a casket or other small box (see Brenan in Egan 1998, p65-70). | 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: | 1200
