Description: | An incomplete copper alloy bar mount or strap fitting, of the Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval period, dating from c.AD 1400 to AD 1700.Around 90% of the mount is present, with the attachment spikes being incomplete. The front of the mount consists three integral parts, the top is in the form of a circular lobe, this tapers into a large oval part and tapers in again and flares out to form a pointed oval shape on it's side. A double groove separates the knops from the central section. No other decoration is present on the front. The reverse is undecorated and is concave in each of the segements. The base of two rectangular sectioned integral attachment spikes are present. They have been positioned at the very top and very bottom of the object.It measures 41.8 mm in length, 19.3 mm wide. It has a maximum thickness (including the attachment spikes) of 8.5 mm and is 3.5 mm thick without the attachment spikes. It weighs 7.2 g.The mount is a dark brown in colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. While a direct parallel could not be found at the time of recording, this object is similar in style to others recorded on the database. Including WMID-5F36C5, HESH-DDDBE4 and DOR-84E896.
