Description: | A small cast copper-alloy medieval bar mount, sub-hemispherical in form. The convex, central lobe is crossed by four incised transverse lines that create ridges. There are fine longitudinal incisions across the ridges. The two smaller perforated side lobes are slightly flattened at their terminals; they both retain their rivets. There is also part of a rove, or the metal to which the fitting was attached surviving ont he back of one of the rivets. The object is similar to artefacts illustrated in Read (2001, 23; fig. 12) and Egan and Pritchard (1991, 214; fig. 134) which are dated to the second half of the fourteenth century. This artefact has a green colour.
