Description: | Medieval cast copper-alloy bar mount. It has a central hemispherical boss with a circular aperture running from front to back. From either side of this boss extend straight arms that are semi-circular in section with flat back and rounded front face. The arms taper in width from the centre to the ends where they end in hemispherical terminals. One terminal is missing to an old break across a piercing. The complete terminal has a central circular aperture which widens from the front to the back and would have held a seperate copper alloy rivet, now missing. This mount now measures 29.5mm in length, 8.3mm in width at central boss, 3.5mm in thickness at central boss, and weighs 1.80g.This bar mount is almost identical to examples published from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 1154, 1158), of Medieval date, c.13th-14th centuries AD.
