A Medieval (1200-1400) copper alloy bar mount from a belt with central and terminal lobes, measuring 18.12x9.01x4.53mm and weighing 1.6g.
The two terminal lobes are solid and one retains its copper alloy rivet. The central lobe is hollow to the reverse but appears to have a rivet squashed within it. It is domed to the front, with a band of decoration 4.5mm wide. The decoration comprises four horizontal grooves.
Similarly decorated bar mounts with central and terminal lobes from London date to the 13th and 14th century (Egan & Pritchard 1991 nos.1154-1162).
