Description: | A corroded cast copper-alloy medieval bar mount, with a central circular openwork element. The central lobe has a circular perforation (Int. dia.: 4.6mm), just off centre. The arms are semicircular in cross-section and have rounded ends; one is longer. Surviving in perforations at each end of the arms is a rivet; the rivets have both been bent inwards on the lower surface. The reverse surface is flat, while the upper surface is bevelled. The object is similar to bar mounts illustrated in Read (2001, 23; refs. 142ff.). The dark red-brown underlying metal is consistent with gilding; traces of gilt survive along with patches of green and off-white corrosion product.
