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 are filled with earth and possibly the remains of seperate cast copper alloy rivets. This mount measures 16.3mm in length, 6.6mm in width at central boss, 2.1mm in thickness and weighs 0.56g.This bar mount is near identical, although smaller in scale, to examples published from London (see Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 1154, 1158), of Medieval date, c.13th-14th centuries AD.
