Description: | Arm fragment of a late medieval or early post-medieval copper alloy purse-bar of London Museum Medieval Catalogue type A1. The purse-bar arm is cast from copper alloy and has a circular section. The arm is decorated with incised double intercrossing diagonal lines. On the bottom edge of the arm is a narrow plate with the remains of two rivets holes from which the fabric of the purse would have hung. A similar example can be seen in the London Museum Medieval Catalogue (Ward-Perkins 1940), figure 50, page 163. The fragment measures 41.5mm in length and 7.5mm in diameter. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
