Description: | Part of an unidentified iron (coated with copper alloy) object. It consists of a long bar, circular in profile, which goes upwards slightly at the very tip before culminating in a teardrop section, which extends downwards at a slight angle. Through this section is a very regular circular hole. The upper half of the other end appears to have attached to something else. Close to this break an integral, roughly semi-circular, loop extends downwards. The metal is brownish-red in colour with a few small patches of greenish copper alloy in places on the surface.
A similar object can also be seen on the PAS database under reference IOW-D49FE6. This was found on the Isle of Wight and has been identified as a late medieval/ early post medieval purse bar.
Length: 60.77mm, Width: 90.73.
