Description: | A complete gilded copper alloy medieval bar mount. The outer face has a three-sided central section with narrow, raised, transverse collars c.11mm behind each end and ends tmoulded to form fleur de lis with long, thin central lobes. In the centre of each end is a circular hole. The reverse is slightly concave.Traces of gilding can be seen in several places on the outer face.The size and form of the mount suggests that it is likely to be from a casket rather than a belt or strap. Its terminals are very similar to those seen on a number of objects identified as caskets mounts from excavations in London (Egan 1998, 70-3, particularly nos.139 &147) and one from Meols (Griffiths et al. 1997, 169, pl.31, no.2093).Length: 71.89mm, width: 8.86mm, thickness: 3.77mm, weight: 10.12g
