Description: | A medieval copper alloy bar mount dating late 13th - early 14th century. This is a bar mount with terminal and central lobes; the central lobe is larger than the terminal lobes. The arms of this bar mount are decoratively cast with transverse ridges. The mount has a D-shaped cross-section. There are two small rivet holes (diameter is less than 1mm), one in each of the terminal lobes. The rivet holes are conical so on the back of the mount they have a diameter of 1.92mm.A very similar bar mount in terms of form and decoration, although the decoration has been created using a different method, is illustrated in Egan & Pritchard (1991:214 no. 1157). It was excavated from a context dating AD12770-1350. Similar mounts are also recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database e.g.BH-79C484; HAMP-85C2C8; SWYOR-FCA8B5.Dimensions: length: 19.66mm; width: 7.40mm; thickness: 1.69mm; weight: 0.74g.
