Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy 13th- or 14th-century medieval bar-mount with pendent loop. The upper surface of the bar mount is rectangular in plan and cross-section. It is looped round at the base, and narrows, terminating in a short, squared off stop which is joined to the front section of bar (and, originally, through the belt) by a single copper-alloy rivet which survives in situ. There is a separate rivet at the other end of the bar mount.The pendant sits within the loop at the bottom of the bar and is quadrilobate in form. The edge from which it hangs is flattened, narrowed and recessed. The surfaces of the pendent are rounded externally. A direct parallel can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 219, 221; ref. 1189). This example has a dark-grey/green patina with patches of off-white corrosion product in places. The loop has been twisted and the bar mount bent to one side, both as a result of old damage.
