Description: | A Post Medieval complete cast copper alloy bar mount with integral pointed lugs, dating approximately to the 17th century AD. This mount is sub-oval in plan with a smaller oval knop at either side. The mount is slightly concave in plan at the centre and knops with an integrally cast pointed lug off centre within each of the knops. It measures 31.63 mm long, 12.67 mm wide, 6.34 mm wide at knops, 1.41 mm thick, and weighs 2.15 grams.According to Egan (2005, p39) 'Some standard forms familiar from the medieval period...continued into the 17th century on horse equipment...' often indicated by two prongs. Hence, it is likely that instead of similar mounts with separate rivets common to the Medieval period, this type of mount was more likely to have been used on horse harnesses during the Post Medieval period. Cf. Reed 2001, Fig. 19-37.
