An incomplete cast copper alloy bar mount, dating to the Medieval period. The mount consists of a wider broken end, a rectangular section, followed by a semi-circular end with an elongated sub-oval knop. Within the semi-circular end, there is a circular rivet hole positioned off-centre. In the area between the semi-circular end and the rectangular segment, there are two raised horizontal collars; no traces of gilding or further decoration remain. The reverse surface is flat, but the mount is slightly curved, making the mount generally D-shaped in cross-section. The mount measures 33.42 mm long, 13.86 mm wide, 4.56 mm thick and weighs 6.43 grams.<\/p>\n
This type of mount seems to have been commonly used on caskets: cf. Egan (1998), The Medieval Household Daily Living (c. 1150-c. 1450), p 73, Nos. 145 and 147, dating to c. 1230-c. 1270; Also, casket mounts from Read 2001, Nos. 165-167, dating to c. 1230-1260 AD.<\/p>","notes":null,"old_findID":"SUSS-6C8BF5","id":"485246","objecttype":"MOUNT","classification":"Casket","subclass":null,"reuse":null,"created":"2012-01-30 16:43:46","broadperiod":"MEDIEVAL","updated":"2012-02-12 13:25:00","treasureID":null,"secwfstage":"4","secuid":"PAS4F26C8BF001916","findofnote":null,"objecttypecert":"2","datefound1":"2011-11-14","datefound2":null,"createdBy":"3776","curr_loc":null,"inscription":null,"reason":null,"subsequentAction":"Returned to finder"}],"record":[{"id":"485246","old_findID":"SUSS-6C8BF5","uniqueID":"PAS4F26C8BF001916","objecttype":"MOUNT","classification":"Casket","subclass":null,"length":"33.42","height":null,"width":"13.86","thickness":"4.56","diameter":null,"quantity":"1","other_ref":null,"treasureID":null,"broadperiod":"MEDIEVAL","numdate1":"1230","numdate2":"1270","description":"
