Title
Medieval bar mount
Description
English: A cast copper-alloy bar mount of Medieval date, probably 14th century.

The mount is largely complete, consisting of a sub-rectangular bifoliate plate or base and a long rectangular shank or bar, U-shaped in section, ending in an oval knop. A circular hole near the baseplate and at the end of the bar indicate that the mount was held in place by nails. The surface is very corroded with largely missing patina, though a trace of gilding can be see where the baseplate and bar join, and around the hole near the baseplate.

The mount was probably used on a casket or box.
