Description: | A cast copper alloy Type B7 medieval purse bar. This purse bar dates to early 16th century. The two bars are both missing. The central block is sub-rectangular with rounded corners on the under side. The central block was decorated on both surfaces, but the pattern is now badly worn. The rove, shank and loop all survive. The rove is circular in shape and the loop is triangular. The metal is pitted and is a mid brownish-green colour. Similar purse bars are discussed in the Medieval Catalogue of the Musuem of London(1967), p167-9, Fig 52. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
