Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy bar mount in the form of a large central oval flanked by two small ovals with flattened outer ends. The oval central part is domed with a concave back and decorated with three transverse incised lines across the centre. The oval ends are also domed, each has a central rivet hole containing a separate circular copper alloy rivet. The top of the rivets are flush with the front of the mount while the other ends are slightly flattened to hold circular copper alloy sheet roves.This form of belt mount was very popular in the Medieval period and was in use from at least AD 1150-1450. (Egan and Pritchard 1991: 26 and 214).
