A copper-alloy hooked bar mount of Medieval date. The style of this piece can be compared with a common form of harness pendant suspension mount (cf. Griffiths in Clark ed. 1995: 69, nos. 73-75) considered to date from the 14th century. It may have served to suspend a sword from a belt. The attachment takes the form of a vertical bar of triangular section. At the top is a decorative terminal in the form of a transverse ridge, above which is a sub-oval lobe with a circular rivet hole through it. Surmounting this lobe is a vertical projection with a rounded point. Half way along the mount is another decorative element; this time a raised transverse rectangular area containing another empty rivet hole. At the base of the mount is another raised ridge and then the bar extends downwards into the backward-facing hook which has convex outer surfaces, a flat underside and a blunt point. Traces of gilt survive in the corners near the raised elements. The reverse is flat.
