Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy Medieval bar mount, dating to c. AD 1350-1400. Remains of both rivets are in situ. The mount is formed of a central sub-oval body from which two sub-circular terminal lobes extend.The terminal lobes are drilled and countersunk below to accommodate copper alloy rivets which would have attached the mount to a strap. All three lobes are hemispherical in section and concave on the underside.The upper surface of the central body is decorated with incised cross-hatched lines. This artefact has a dark green patina. It measures 16mm long, 8.5mm wide at the central lobe. The smaller lobes are 4.7mm at the widest point. The artefact is 3.2mm thick and weighs 1.11g. Cf. Read 2001, p. 23.
