Description: | A slightly worn and corroded, cast copper-alloy medieval bar mount, small and sub-hemispherical in form. The convex, central lobe is crossed by six neatly incised transverse lines that create ridges. The two smaller perforated side lobes both retain their rivets, which both have hammered over ends. The object is similar to artefacts illustrated in Read (2001, 23; fig. 12) and Egan and Pritchard (1991, 214; fig. 134) which are dated to the second half of the fourteenth century. This artefact has corroded to a variable dark-brown colour; the rivets, of a different alloy, are more red/brown.
