Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval bar mount, elongated with a central circular element. The central lobe has a truncated, flat top and central circular perforation. The arms are semicircular in cross-section with a flat lower surface, this latter bearing file marks. Both ends have half hemispherical terminals, perforated to take rivets, both of which survive in situ, one bent slightly at its end. The artefact has an even dark-green patina. The object is similar to artefacts illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 214; fig. 134) which tend to date from before 1350 AD.
