Description: | A Late Medieval copper-alloy bar mount.The central element of the mount is subcircular, its convex upper surface decorated by a crudely incised pattern of cross-hatched grooves, its underside hollow. A pair of perforated lobes extends from the top and bottom of this central area, respectively. Both lobes have outward-bowing sides and the undamaged example terminates in a squared distal end.Length: 16.2mm; width: 6.9mm; thickness: 2.7mm; weight: 0.85g.Two similar mounts were found in excavations in London, both in late 14th century contexts (Egan and Pritchard 1991: 213/fig. 134, nos. 1160 and 1161).
