Description: | A medieval copper-alloy bar mount.The parallel-sided bar is of rectangular cross section and terminates in two rounded ends, each with a circular rivet hole and a projecting knop. Equally spaced along the upper surface of the bar are four transverse grooves with central breaks. The underside of the piece is slightly concave.Length: 48.4mm; width: 7.4mm; thickness: 4mm. Weight: 5.27g.Stylistically similar mounts were frequently used in the 13th and 14th centuries, particularly for the suspension of horse harness pendants (see Ashley 2002: Fig. 13, no. 105) and it is likely that this piece is of a similar date.
