Description: | A medieval, cast copper alloy bar strap mount dating from AD1350 - 1450. It consists of a central circular section flanked by two small circular terminal lobes, separated from the main body by short, straight necks. The central section is domed, being concave on the underside and, on the upper side, is decorated with a cross-hatched pattern of incised lines. Both ends are pierced with a circular hole to take a copper alloy mounting spike. One of the spikes remains in place, the other is missing. The mount has a dark brown patina. It is 16.9mm long, 8.4mm wide and 3.8mm thick. It weighs 1.57gm.Similar mounts are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories c.1150 - c.1450, page 214, numbers 1160 & 1161. These are attributed to the late 14th century.
