Description: | A highly corroded cast copper-alloy medieval bar mount, large with a central circular openwork element. The central lobe has a central circular perforation (Int. dia.: 9.7mm). The arms are sub-trapezoidal in cross-section and have been squared off. Surviving in perforations at each end of the arms is a rivet. The reverse surface is flat, while the upper surface is bevelled. In its magnitude the object is most similar to a bar mount illustrated in Read (2001, 23; ref. 141). The variable green patina has largely corroded away revealing a red-brown metal below. Concretions around the rivets suggest they may have been made of iron.
