Description: | A complete Medieval cast copper-alloy bar mount, dating to c. AD 1350-1400 AD. The mount is flat and mostly solid on the reverse, rather than convex as is usual for this type. The central lobe is ovoid rather then hemispherical in cross-section and unpierced; a small circular hole is visible on the reverse but does not pierce through to create a circular opening as is common. Flanking the central lobe are two solid sub-triangular arms, both having a ovoid knop on each end. The terminal knops both possess centrally-positioned circular rivet holes, with both copper-alloy rivets originally intact. It measures 18.63 mm long, 8.22 mm wide, 3.26 mm thick and weighs 1.2 grams. The mount is of an even dark green patina.Cf. Read Vol 1. 2001, Nos. 143-144.
