A Medieval copper-alloy bar mount.
The mount has a circular frame at its centre, from above and below which projects a triangular-sectioned, gradually tapering arm. Each of the two ends takes the form of a circular lobe, perforated by a rivet hole. The object measures 38.75mm long, up to 11.17mm wide (centre), 3.45mm thick and weighs 3.65g.
Bar mounts of this form were found in excavations in London, the majority in late 13th to mid 14th century contexts (Egan and Pritchard 1991: 213-214/fig. 134, cf. nos. 1154, 1157 and 1158).

A copper-alloy hooked mount of Medieval (13th to 14th century) date.
The mount consists of a vertical bar, from the base of which projects a forward-facing hook. The bar is parallel-sided and of triangular section. At the top, a narrower 'waist' separates the central portion from the terminal, the latter of which contains an in situ copper-alloy rivet and is surmounted by a narrower, vertically-projecting lobe. The second rivet occupies a raised moulding just above the base of the bar. The hook is slightly narrower than the bar, of rectangular section, and tapers towards the end, where there is a rectangular plate. The upper surface of the corroded mount bears traces of gilding. The object measures 39mm high, 6.2mm wide, 2.4mm thick (the bar) and weighs 3.51g.

A complete cast copper alloy casket mount in the form of a lions head. Some gilding remains on the front and reverse. The reverse has a central depression and the scars of two rovets, square in section, situated at 12 and 6 oclock positions. Mounts of this type were common in the Roman period as casket or vessel mounts. However, they reappear during the Georgian period and indications are that this is a Georgian mount rather than Roman. The patina of the copper alloy suggest a more recent date, as does the expression of the lion's face, which is more fierce than is typical of the roman examples.

A Medieval cast copper-alloy mount in the form of a female figure (c. 1400-c. 1500 AD).
The moulded standing figure is cloaked and appears to be female. She is holding what may be a palm branch in her left hand and apparently an open book in her right. This figurine may be a representation of St Barbara. However, there is no indication of a tower that is associated with St Barbara. The figure has a circular base with the remains of a central tang, circular in cross-section. The rear face of the figure is moulded.
It is possible that the figure is a representation of the Madonna and Child.
The object has no patina and has superficial copper-alloy corrosion deposits.
Height: 27.08mm; width of figure: 8.54mm; thickness of figure: 5.05mm; diameter of base: 8.68mm. Weight: 4.36g.
The Oxford Dictionary of Saints has the following description. '[St Barbara] was shut up in a tower by her father Dioscorus, so that no man should see her. None the less princes sought her hand in marriage. She became a Christian while her father was away and decided to live as a hermit in a bath-house he had built. Here she made the workman add a third window in honour of the Holy Trinity. In his fury at her becoming a Christian, he nearly killed her, but she was handed over to a judge who condemned her to death. Her father was struck by lightning and died. This was the basis of her patronage of those in danger of sudden death, first by lightning, and then by subsiding mines or cannon-balls. Hence, her patronage of miners and gunners. The first known representation of her is an 8th-century fresco at S. Maria Antiqua, Rome; she is found, often with the equally mythical Margaret of Antioch, on late medieval English screens and stained glass. Her usual emblem is a tower. The painting of her by Jan van Eyck in the museum at Antwerp is probably the most famous representation' (Farmer, D. H. 1978, 28 'The Oxford Dictionary of Saints'. Oxford: Clarendon Press).

Cast copper alloy sword belt bar mount with a suspension loop and three flat square segments, each having cross hatching on the upper face, on either side of recessed sections with central flattened ribs that are semi-circular in section. One of the square segments has an exant copper alloy rivet with a round head still in its central rivet hole. Just beyond it, at this end, there is a curved hook or suspension loop with a flat square terminal, which would have been suspended from a similar mount with an aperture, such as ESS-99A0D6. At the opposite end, there is a splayed moulding like the zoomorphic mouths seen on purse bars and pendent frames, opening to a circular terminal with a corroded rivet hole and an extended oblong knop. Some gilding remains which has joined the corrosion product to form a light brown layer across much of the surface.
Read (2001) illustrates casket mounts with similar mouldings and decoration, and hooked mounts with separate rivets on pages 23-24, Figs.12-13, Nos.165-170, which are dated from c.1230-1260.
Bailey (2008) illustrates a similar belt decoration or stiffener with three squares of cross hatching between two perforated knops on page 47, Fig.C11.51, which is dated from the 13th to the 14th century.
Bailey (2011) illustrates a similar belt chape with three square segments with cross hatching and a knopped terminal at one end with a rivet hole and an extant rivet at the opposite end, on page 95, Fig.66, which is dated to the Medieval period.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy openwork mount of Post Medieval date, c. 17th-c. mid-18th century. The object is broadly hexagonal in form with inward-curving sides and knopped protrusions at the apexes. There is a central pellet flanked at the cardinal points by shallowly moulded semicircles. Around this are nine equally spaced holes that follow the sides. Some of these have not been finished in their filing. Basic diverging mouldings flank these holes, widening as they approach the sides. There is a further small transverse moulding before each knop. On the flat reverse surface are the remains of three integrally-cast pointed lugs; one survives intact. About a quarter of the artefact is missing as a result of old damage. It has corroded to a reddish-brown colour with patches of light-green corrosion product in places. The mount measures 36.98 mm in approximate diameter, 7.55 mm thick and weighs 9.9 grams. For parallels from the PAS database, cf.: ESS-CA17C6, LON-419331.

A cast copper alloy Early-medieval knife terminal or fitting.
See record: NMS-6B81F1:
Copper-alloy mount, probably from the handle of a knife or sword. It is flat-ended and cylindrical, with four deep cut-outs with intervening points at the other end. Two points are distorted (bent out of shape). The sides, but not the unperforated flat end, are decorated with engraved lines forming rather crude arches which do not quite mirror the arched cut-outs. A transverse hole is filled with the remains of an iron pin; this cannot be seen on the photograph, but is just visible on the drawing, on the second view from the left. It passes through the object at the level of the top of the arched cut-outs and appears to respect the engraved decoration. Length 25.5mm. External diameter 15mm. Internal diameter 10.5mm. Perhaps 11th or 12th century.
Compare four other examples on the PAS database: LEIC-F826C5, NARC-6D8F97, NMS-819015 (from Great Dunham, Norfolk) and HESH-4B4686. There is also a pair of more distant parallels on a sword from Lough Derg, Co. Tipperary, now in the National Museum of Ireland (acc. no. 1988:226; Ó Floinn in Roesdahl and Wilson 1992, 340-1, cat. no. 431; Peirce 2002, 140-1). Here the sword grip is reinforced at both ends by deeply scalloped grip-sleeves which, although decorated with silver and niello interlace in late 11th-century Irish style, are very close in shape to these English mounts. The closed end on the Great Dunham example suggests that it may have come from a knife (with no pommel) rather than a sword; alternatively, it might be a ferrule or staff terminal.
Jason Gibbons, the illustrator of NMS-6B81F1, comments that there is a published example from Huntingdon, identified as a chess piece; Proc Cambs Antiq Soc vol 89 (2000), 95.

A fragment of copper alloy, probably a mount with a rivet still in place. The object is rectangular in plan and D shaped in section, with a separate thin wire copper alloy rivet surviving, with the ends thickened. The other circular rivet hole is empty. It is believed to be Early Medieval based on comparison to other similar finds, and because this site produces many early Medieval finds. Its function is unknown but it could have been part of binding, maybe from a shield or vessel. Compare SWYOR-7CAAE7, SWYOR-7CD8D7 and SWYOR-DBEDF7.

An incomplete copper-alloy bar mount dating to the medieval period. The mount has a pierced circular central lobe. The lobe is convex and decorated with a collar at either end. From both collars extends an arm, D-shaped in cross-section and terminating with a rivet hole. One arm is incomplete.
The mount is similar to, but larger than the series of bar mounts with central lobes illustrated in Egan & Pritchard, Dress Accessories, pp.213-4, fig.143.

A copper alloy circular object, perhaps a mount, of probable Early Medieval date. It is a circular disc of copper alloy sheet. There are four circular holes through the plate, one in each angle of an incised cross with flared arms. There are traces of gilt in the incised lines. There is no evidence of attachment on the reverse, but one edge is broken, so there may have been an attachment there. The same design can be seen on early Medieval brooches such as NMS-698432 and NMS-993175, and on a mount HAMP-10B565 (though this is given a later date).

A copper alloy mount being flat and diamond shaped at the bottom (top?) It is decorated with vine tendrils, pellets and an annulet. There are two rivet holes at either end, both retain residue of rivets. The plate would have tapered down into a hook or loop which has been broken off. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Possibly from a sword belt and dating from the medieval to the post-medieval period.
