Description: | An incomplete and bent copper-alloy bar mount of Medieval date. The style of this mount is typical of 13th to 14th century mounts, particularly those associated with the suspension of harness pendants (see Griffiths 1986: 4, example d).The mount has a rectangular central element, with angled sides and a flat central ridge. At each end a transverse moulding separates the central portion from a terminal, only one of which survives intact. This intact terminal has a central rivet hole and tapers slightly towards the end, where it curves inwards before extending into a pointed projection. The other terminal also contains a rivet hole, but is wider, has convex sides and is missing its end. The underside of the mount is concave.The artefact measures 60.1mm long, 11.2mm wide and 3.1mm thick. The weight is 6.65g.
