Description: | An incomplete Medieval (1200-1400) copper alloy bar-mount from a belt with central and terminal lobes, missing one rivet. Measures 16.22x7.22x4.50mm and weighs 0.85g.The two terminal lobes are solid (c.5x2mm), one with a 1.79mm diameter countersunk rivet hole to reverse (1.14mm diameter to front), the other with a separate copper alloy rivet in situ. The central lobe is hollow to the reverse and domed to the front, with a band of decoration c.4mm wide. The decoration comprises four horizontal grooves with numerous vertical incised lines crossing, to give a pattern of tiny squares. Similarly decorated bar mounts with central and terminal lobes from London date to the 13th and 14th century (Egan & Pritchard 1991 nos.1154-1162).
