Description: | A complete cast copper alloy bar mount, of Medieval dating (c.1200 to c. 1500 AD).The mount is sub rectangular in plan, and D shaped in section. At the centre of the bar is a square panel with faint cross hatched decoration and traces of gilding. Either side of the central panel both arms are identical and have a short faceted section followed by a prominent transverse ridge. At each end of the bar are semi-circular terminals that are slightly dome-shaped in form and have projecting oval shaped terminal knops. They have at their centre circular rivet holes. The mount is a mid to dark green colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the ploughsoil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.It measures 63.71mm in length, 9.91mm wide and 2.04mm thick. It weighs 4.6 grams.Several similar bar mounts have been recorded on the PAS database including: SF-D17525 and SOM-0205D1. Both are consistent with a Medieval date (c.1200 to c. 1500 AD).
