Description: | A copper alloy belt or strap mount, a bar mount, dating from the Medieval period, AD1350 - 1400. It has a central, oval body at each end of which is a short, sub-rectangular knop drilled to take a copper alloy mounting rivet. One of the mounting rivets remains in place.The knops are of D-shaped cross-section, curved above and flat on the underside and are undecorated. The central body is convex on the upper side and concave beneath, and is decorated with three narrow, transverse grooves which are crossed by eight shorter grooves, none of which reaches the full length of the mount. Both this decoration and the knops are crudely made. The mount is 13.9mm long, 7.3mm wide and 3.3mm thick. It weighs 0.57g.Similar mounts are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories, 1150 - 1450, page 134, and are dated to the second half of the fourteenth century.
