Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy purse frame. The frame fragment is U shaped in cross-section and has a curved profile. The inner side has the remains of an iron rivet. It is 34.4mm long, 8.2mm wide and 5.3mm thick; it weighs 7.87 grams. Ward Perkins (1940:169) suggest metal framed purses become popular in towards the end of the 15th century and drop out of use by the end of the 16th. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
