Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy bar mount of Medieval date. It is missing half of one terminal due to old breaks. The mount has a dome-shaped central boss with central circular aperture. On opposing sides extend tapering rectangular arms that are D-shaped in section, slightly faceted in appearance, and terminate with semi-circular terminals. Both terminals have the remains of a central circular rivet hole, the complete example still retaining a separately cast cylindrical copper-alloy rivet with flattened head. This mount measures 31.29mm in length, 8.40mm in width at central boss, 3.73mm in thickness, and weighs 2.18g.This is a bar mount that is near identical in terms of form and size to a parallel noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 1158). It dates to the 13th or 14th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
