Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy bar mount in the form of a central domed plate with a domed lobe at each end. Each lobe at the ends has the remains of a separate copper-alloy rivet that are flush at the front and broken at the rear. The front central lobe is decorated with five transverse lines of incised indentations. All three lobes are concave at the rear. The mount has a mid brown patina at the front with a similar patina at the rear which is partially obscured by corrosion products. 23.6 x 12.4 x 4.6mm. Weight: 2.36g. 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: 26).
