Attached to the collar is a rectangular bar that is triangular in section. At the opposite end of the bar is a second circular attachment plate that is a flattened D-shape in section with a flat back and rounded front face. At either end is an expanding transverse collar. At the base of the plate is an integrally cast hook. This is rectangular, flattened D-shape in section and bent forwards.This mount measures 80.58mm in length, 12.77mm in width, 3.39mm in thickness, 9.92g in weight.This is a cast copper-alloy bar mount of Medieval date, perhaps serving as a belt fitting (e.g. Read, 2008: no. 779) or a mount on a box or similar item (Egan, 1998: nos. 139, 149). There are similar examples recorded on the PAS database (SF-774B04), (IOW-1BC924). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
