Description: | A copper alloy Medieval cast bar mount dating from about the 13th Century. The mount has a hemispherical central lobe with projecting arms which terminate in a lobe at either end. The central lobe is pierced by a large central oval hole, and is decorated with horizontal raised bars flanking the lobe. The terminal lobes also have central perforations; the rivets are now missing from the small circular holes. The central lobe is hollow on the underside and the back of the mount is undecorated. The bar is triangular in section. The mount has a light brown patina. See Egan and Pritchard's Dress Accessories (1991), page 214, figure 134, number 1161. Similar examples may be found on the database at PAS record IDs: NCL-6314C5 and DENO-606026.
