MOUNT

Unique ID: WILT-063464

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A complete, copper alloy probable bar mount, dating to between the medieval and post medieval period (AD 1250- AD 1600).

One terminate of the mount is square in shape and cross section. Both of the horizontal edges act as a collar as they both exceed the shapes width. There are two rivets in place, on centrally, and one just below, both of which, penetrate all the way through. The bar of the mount increases in thickness as its central ridge protrudes upwards into an arch. The bar terminates in a circular shape and cross section. There is also a singular rivet in this terminate, which is located centrally. The entire bar mount remains undecorated.

Length: 29.9mm

Maximum width: 9.27mm

Minimum width: 4.55mm

Maximum thickness: 4.45mm

Weight: 2.79g
