Description: | Cast copper alloy Medieval 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 three transverse grooves towards the centre which do not reach right across. The oval ends are also domed and each has a hole containing seperate circular sectioned copper alloy rivets. It is 17.5mm long, 8.4mm wide and 2.5mm thick; it weighs 1.1 grams. This form of belt mount was very popular in the Medieval period and was in use from at least 1150-1450 AD. (Egan and Pritchard 1991: pp26 and 214).
