Mounts

This is an unusual instance of bar-mounts being set with other than regular spacing.

1141    SWA81 430 (2018) 9 5.5x25mm; sheeting; one rivet survives.

1142    SWA81    2128    (2030)    9    fig 133

6x26mm; solid; central ridge; rivets missing.

1143    BWB83    4466    (256)    11    fig 133

4x30mm; solid; altemate plain and cross-hatched fields along bar; integral rivets.

This is the only bar mount with integral rivets; it may perhaps have been for a casket or other rigid object, rather than for a strap.

1144    BWB83    3253    (265)    12    fig 133

6x24mm; folded sheeting; central ridge; rivets mis-sing.

1145    BWB83 5133 (unstratified) fig 133 4x20mm; solid; D-section; angled recess in middle of one edge; rivets survive; corrosion products on the back suggest that this was fixed to a smoother surface than leather.

Probably from a shield-shaped strap-end like no. 738 (fig 103).

A simple bar-mount with two rivets is used as a form of rove on the strap with the parallel for buckie no. 472 (fig 65).

Iron

1146    BWB83 8 (110) 11 fig 102

5x24mm; solid; two rivets; on leather strap with strap-end no. 730.

Bars with terminal lobes

Copper alloy

1147 BIG82 2511 (2853) 8 fig 134 4x25mm; sheeting; two iron rivets.

1148    SWA81    3429    (2141)    9    fig    134

7.5xl3mm; sheeting; lozenge-shaped bar.

1149 SWA81 426 (2018) 9 fig 134 7x20mm; sheeting; central ridge; on fragment of leather strap 23mm wide and with impressed lines lengthways defining where the rivets are set.

1150    SWA81    3427    (2141)    9    fig    134

5x22.5mm; solid; central ridge; rivets missing.

1151    SWA81    1881    (2133)    9    fig    134

6x29.5mm; sheeting; central ridge; rivets missing.

1152 SWA81 431 (2018) 9

8x33mm; sheeting; central ridge; rivets missing.

1153 SWA81 3076 (2030) 9 Mount as no. 1149, but 7x33.5mm.

Bars with terminal and central lobes

Copper alloy

A leather strap with mounts of this form (altemating with circular ones having a beaded border) has been published as a hamess strap (Guildhall Museum Cata-logue 1908, 144 no. 4613 & pl LXXIV nos. 2 & 11) — there seems to be no specific reason to connect it with horse eąuipment.

1154    BIG82    3267    (3561)    6    fig    134

6.5x32mm; solid; central hole; rivets missing.

1155    SWA81    597    (2055)    9    fig    134

6x lOmm; sheeting; central hole; rivets have roves and traces of lead-tin solder (MLC); leather survives from strap.

1156    SWA81    422    (2018)    9

6x 18mm; solid; central hole; bar is hatched horizontal-ly; rivets missing.

1157    SWA81    424 (2018)    9    fig 134

7x22mm; as preceding item; one rivet with solder survives.

1158    SWA81 1942 (2063) 9 fig 134 8x31.5mm; solid; bar tapers from centre; central hole with raised, bevelled surround; raised terminal lobes; one rivet with traces of solder survives.

1159    BWB83    4553    (274)    9    fig 134

13x39mm; rectangular sheeting; sąuarish hole in raised central sąuarish area (both orientated as lozenges); raised bar and trilobed terminals; probably unfinished, sińce it has not been trimmed; no rivets.

1160    BWB83    1508    (108)    11    fig 134

10x 16mm; solid; central lobe is crudely cross-hatched; part of one rivet survives.

1161    BWB83    3605    (368)    11    fig 134
