Description: | A cast copper alloy purse bar. The rectangular central block and both the arms of the bar survive, the loop and the shank are missing. The central block measures 16mm in length. It is decorated with a large cross within a square outline on one surface, and with a single vertical line on the reverse. These have been engraved. There are two collars flanking the central block, with a further two larger collars next to these. The bars are circular in section. It is possible that this purse bar has been broken next to the second collar on both arms. Alternatively the purse bar is very short. It is not possible to tell without further examination of the wear pattern to the terminals. The metal surface has a deep green patina and is pitted. The purse bar is 15th century in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
