Description: | A complete worn Medieval copper alloy bar mount dating to c. AD 1200 - 1400. The mount consists of one complete rounded terminal with a filled rivet hole, there are iron corrosion products on the upper surface of the mount, indicating a former iron attachment rivet. Bordering the rivet, is a raised transverse band which separates the terminal from the convex, sub-oval plate. The plate then tapers to another narrower transverse raised band which borders the other terminal, which is also rounded and has a filled rivet hole. This terminal is smaller than the other, creating a tear-drop shape. Possibly this terminal has been subject to increased wear and is overall much narrower than the other. The mount has a D-shaped cross-section and the reverse is undecorated and flat at both terminals; the reverse of the central plate is concave.The mount measures 28.8 mm in length, 7.9 mm wide, 2.8 mm thick and weighs 1.59 g. A number of comparable examples are recorded on the database e.g. YORYM-FD0F5C.
