Description: | A fragment of a late medieval purse frame, cast in copper alloy. The frame has an L-shaped cross-section. On the outer surface of the L-shape on one side a series of two pairs of parallel lines are visible. They are incised and infilled with niello and form a cross-hatched design.
On the other surface of the L-shaped frame, six holes have been drilled into the frame, presumably for attachment purposes, one is on its own, much further away. One terminal is broken, the other has a notched terminal, also broken.
The metal is pitted and is a mid reddish-brown colour. Similar purse frames can be seen in the Medieval Catalogue (1967), Plate XXXIV. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Taylor, Jeff | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
