Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy bar mount in the form of a large central oval flanked by two small ovals. The oval central part is domed with a concave back and decorated with four transverse incised lines across the centre. There is an irregular roughly oval hole through the centre of this part, possibly damage. The oval ends are also domed, each has a central rivet containing a circular copper alloy rivet; the top of the rivet is flush with the front of the mount.This form of belt mount was very popular in the Medieval period and was in use from at least AD 1150-1450. (Egan and Pritchard 1991: pp26 and 214).
