Description: | A medieval copper-alloy bar mount (strap fitting), small and sub-hemispherical in form. A convex, central lobe is crossed by six neatly incised transverse lines that create ridges. These ridges have also been incised longitudinally across the whole object to create a neat grid pattern. The two smaller perforated side lobes both retain their copper-alloy rivets. The object is similar to artefacts illustrated in Read (2001, 23; fig. 12) and Egan and Pritchard (1991, 214; fig. 134) which are dated to the second half of the fourteenth century.The object is 16.5mm long, 8.0mm wide, 3.2mm thick (up to 4.4mm including the rivets), and weighs 0.99g.
