Description: | Medieval cast copper-alloy bar mount. It has a central hemispherical boss with a circular aperture running from front to back. From either side of this boss extend straight arms that are semi-circular in section with flat back and rounded front face. The arms taper in width from the centre to the ends where there end in hemispherical terminals. The terminals have central circular apertures which widen from the front to the back and would have held seperate copper alloy rivets, now missing. This mount measures 32.5mm in length, 8.8mm in width at central boss, 3.7mm in thickness at central boss, and weighs 1.91g.This bar mount is near identical to examples published from London (see Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 1154, 1158), of Medieval date, c.13th-14th centuries AD.
