Description: | Cast copper alloy bar mount. A small bar with terminal and central lobes. The central lobe is oval in shape, hollow backed and decorated with deeply moulded horizontal grooves. The flanking terminal lobes are much smaller and each has a circular hole containing a copper alloy rivet. The ends of these lobes are rounded and the backs are flat. The rivets are circular sectioned and have splayed ends. Also attached to one of the rivets is a folded strip of copper alloy strip metal. The strip of metal has been bent over on itself and both ends attached to the rivet through circular holes.Between the two ends of the rivet are possible traces of woven fabric.Date: Medieval - c. 1350 - 1400 Dimensions: 17.20 mm x 10.24 mm x 4.74 mm Weight: 1.76 g A similar mount has been recorded as database record DOR-0BDB44. There are two examples of mounts with strip metal attachments from Sussex (see SUSS-63S762 and SUSS-6011B5). In addition there is an example of a rectangular mount with a similarly bent and attached strip metal loop used for suspending a pendent loop and so performing a similar function to examples published in Egan, G and Pritchard, F 1991, Dress Accessories, p. 221, no.s 1189 - 1191.Reference - Egan G and Pritchard F, 1991, Dress Accessories, page 213 - 214, Nos. 1160 & 1161
