Description: | One arm of a purse bar. Made of cast copper alloy, it comprises a central block with an arm 83mm in length finishing in a T-shaped terminal with a pyramidal knop. It has a total length of 101mm long and is 13mm wide at the widest point (the T-shaped terminal). The central block is decorated on each face by random scratched lines and circles. An area of corrosion adjoins the central block and is probably the remains of an iron suspension loop and rove attachment.There are three holes through the arm, and three small pegs (ranging in length from 12mm to 15mm), in place and moveable. The arm is decorated on two of the faces by a wavy line along its length and a dot beneath each of the lines curves. It's date is uncertain and is does not appear to conform to London Museum (1940) typology. It is probably late medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
