Description: | A corroded cast copper-alloy artefact, probably a knopped terminal from the side-bar of a now incomplete purse. The fragment largely consists of a sub-spherical element from the centre of which protrudes a circular sectioned bar. This 'bar' is 5.5mm in diameter and now travels c. 10.1mm. The main element features a prominent median ridge. The terminal is rendered as a solid bell, with transverse 'slot' terminating at each end in a circular 'sound hole'. This treatment can be paralleled on a purse bar recorded on this database, ref. CAM-EA9050. The object now has a variable green colour as a result of corrosion, with possible traces of a dark coating. | Subjects: | bar | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
