A cast copper alloy bar-mount. The mount has an oblong in the centre with rounded terminals. The top and bottom terminals each house a rivet hole, both still contain a copper alloy rivet. The rivet extends backwards from the mount. The metal surface of the object is dark brownish-green in colour and slightly worn. The mount probably dates to the 12th - 15th century. Two of these bar mounts would have hung down from a waist strap and would have held an arched pendant mount in position. Purses were often hung from these. Parallels can see seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p214, Fig: 134.
