Description: | Medieval cast copper-alloy bar mount in the form of a central circular element flanked by two small sub-rectangular outer ends. The centre and end elements are domed with concave backs and convex fronts, the end elements are thinner. The ends each have a pierced hole though the centre one of which holds a separate copper-alloy rivet; there is a recess around the holes on the back. The rivet is circular in cross-section, it is now broken level with the back but would have projected slightly originally. The front is decorated with seven transverse incised lines across the central section creating six ridges. It is 17.2mm long, 11.5mm wide 4.1mm thick and weighs 1.87 grams.This form of belt mount was very popular in the Medieval period and was in use from at least AD 1150-1450 (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 26, 214).
