Description: | Medieval bar mount strap fitting made from sheet copper alloy. Parallel sided with squared ends, the section consists of a 4.0mm wide longitudinal rib flanked by two grooves which in turn are flanked by narrow ribs bearing finely incised, angled lines. Through the centre is a 3.0mm diameter hole and, at each end of the back, is a 1.5mm diameter x 1.4mm long stud the ends of which have been hammered to expand them. These studs were not integrally cast and each is set within a shallow, circular recess. They cannot be seen on the face of the bar and may have been soldered into place on the back. Similar bars have been found in London in contexts dating to AD 1230-1260 (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 213, Fig. 134, No. 1147). Length 23.1mm, Width 6.0mm, Thickness 1.7mm, Mass 1.30g.
