Unique ID: SF-AF6D39
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete copper-alloy bar mount of Medieval date. It is missing part of the outer edge due to old breaks, now worn.
It has a central domed circular lobe and two smaller rectangular terminal lobes. The central lobe is hollow and the front face is decorated with a central circular aperture. Surrounding the aperture are three transverse grooves. There are multiple shorter, finer, longitudinal grooves crossing the transverse ones, creating a series of cross-hatching. Both terminal lobes contain separate circular copper-alloy rivets, with flattened round heads.
This bar mount measures 18.16mm in length, 9.06mm in width, 2.59mm in thickness, 0.84g in weight.
There are similar examples recorded on the PAS database (SOM-AB5CE7), (DOR-37D667).
