Description: | Just over one half of a copper-alloy purse bar of late medieval date. Consists of a central boss measuring 17.4mm wide, by 15.1mm high and 10.1mm thick. There is a hole which runs from top to bottom and measures 5.3mm diameter, with an extra lip underneath for the now missing loop to fit into. The remaining side bar (the right hand one as you look at it) is not straight, but instead has moulded decoration towards the central boss. It is finished off at its distal end by a simple knob. The half of the side bar not immediately adjacent to the central boss has niello lattice-work decoration within a border of vertical incised lines (three on each side). The central boss has incised lattice-work with red inlay (unidentified material) on one side and, on the other side, red inlaid cross hatching.
The overall dimensions are 87.7mm long, by 15.1mm high and 10.1mm thick. Weight = 37.39g. | Subjects: | Purse bar | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
