Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy bar mount from a belt, in the form of a central circular section flanked by two small circular terminal lobes. The central section is domed with a concave back and is decorated with a set of 4 incised horizontal lines with a group of vertical lines forming a cross hatching pattern. The terminal lobes each have a pierced hole through which two separate copper alloy rivets sit. The mount has a smooth green patina.This form of belt mount was very popular in the Medieval period and was in use from at least AD1150-1450 (Egan and Pritchard 1991: p209- 214).
