Title
Medieval bar mount
Description
English: A copper-alloy bar mount of probable mid 12th to mid 15th century AD date (G. Egan and F. Pritchard; 1991; pp. 219).

This piece is very simple in form, consisting of a sub-rectangular strip which increases slightly in width towards one end. The upper surface is slightly convex and the underside is flat. The mount, which is now bent, but would originally have been flat, would have been attached to a leather strap by two small copper-alloy rivets, one of which is located at each end.

In its current bent condition the piece measures 46.7mm long, by up to 6.4mm wide and 1.8mm thick; the weight is 4.12g.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Hertfordshire
