Description: | A cast copper alloy bar mount dating from AD1350 - 1450. It consists of a central circular section flanked by two short, rectangular lobes, each pierced to take a copper alloy rivet. One complete rivet, and part of the second, remain in place. The underside of the mount is flat and the central section is domed, and, on the upper side, is decorated with a cross-hatched pattern of incised lines. The mount has a dark brown patina. It is 15.5mm long,8.8mm wide and 4.3mm thick. It weighs 0.91gm.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.
