Description: | A complete cast copper alloy mount of Early medieval to Medieval date (AD 410-1200). The mount consists of an oblong, slightly convex bar with two integrally cast short rivets at each end. The simple, undecorated form of the mount makes it difficult to date, based on comparison with other similar finds and those which have been found in close proximity to this object an Early-medieval date can be ascribed. There are however enough differences between this example and others in the form of integrally cast rivets rather than separate, pierced rivets, that the date range has been extended into the Medieval period.The metal is a mid-green in colour with a mid-brown patina.Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities database: SWYOR-7CAAE7, SWYOR-DBEDF7.
