Description: | A cast copper alloy Medieval bar mount in the form of a large central oval flanked by two smaller sub-square segments. The oval central part is hemispherical in cross-section, domed with a concave back and decorated with three transverse grooves towards the centre. The square end lobes each have a hole containing a separate circular sectioned copper alloy rivet. The mount is 13.56 mm long, 7.57 mm wide and weighs 0.85 grams. This form of belt mount was very popular in the Medieval period and was in use from at least 1150-1450 AD. Cf. Egan and Pritchard (1991, pp26 and 214).
