Description: | A cast copper alloy unidentified object. The object has a circular sectioned rod which forms a wide ??V?? shape in plan. This shape appears to be bent through use rather than being accidental as it is symmetrical. The rod terminates with integral bulbous knops. The surface of the object has a mid green patina. It measures 58.1mm long and 19.39mm wide from the apex of the rod to the lower edge of a terminal. It weighs 21.3g.
The object is reminiscent of a Medieval purse bar, but these usually have transverse fittings in the centre of the rod, whereas this example does not. The object possibly dates to the Medieval period when taking into account the nature of the patina and the terminals. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
