Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Medieval bar mount dating to circa 14th century AD. The mount is formed of a central sub-oval body, from which two sub-rectangular terminal lobes extend. The terminal lobes are drilled and one is broken through the hole. The holes would have contained rivets which would have attached the mount to a strap. The two complete lobes are hemispherical in section and concave on the underside. The upper surface of the central oval lobe is decorated with four prominent circumferential rings. This artefact is abraded and has a mid to dark green colour overall with concretions present. Dimensions are 12.65 mm long, 7.79 mm wide at the central lobe. The smaller complete terminal lobe is 4.77 mm wide. The artefact is 4.04 mm thick and weighs 0.95g.
