Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval bar mount, sub-hemispherical in form. The central lobe features a pair of deep, roughly transverse lines, within which finer longitudinal and transverse incisions, all quiet crude. It also features a central perforation that is bevelled on the upper surface. The extant smaller perforated side lobe retains its rivet. It is square in shape rather than being rounded which is more usual. The object is similar to artefacts illustrated in Read (2001, 23; fig. 12) and Egan and Pritchard (1991, 214; fig. 134) which are dated to the second half of the fourteenth century. This artefact has corroded to a dark-green colour with patches of lighter corrosion product.
