Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy mount. It is rectangular in plan with a sub-triangular cross section. One end of the bar terminates in a narrow rectangular knop with rounded end; before this knop is a rivet, with a semi-circular notch to each side. The other terminal is a rectangular loop; just before this is is a raised band with a rivet. Both rivets are copper alloy, with a cylindical shank and globular head; one has a widened terminal to keep the rivet secure, while the other shank is damaged and the terminal missing. The mount has a mid-green patina and it has traces of gilding along the edges. The mount is 58.69mm long, 8.85mm wide, 5.77mm thick. The rivet heads are 6.5mm in diameter and the shanks 3.08mm in diameter. It weighs 14.51g.The mount is similar to Read (2001) p24 figure 13 no 169, although the example in Read has a hooked terminal in place of the rectangular loop in this example. Also compare NMS-64D1C4 and IOW-D76AE5 on the PAS database, which are likely to date to the 13th or 14th centuries.
