Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy fragment: part of the frame of a late medieval or early post-medieval purse. In plan the object is curved in an arc which is not quite semi-circular. In cross-section it is solid oval. Protruding from the lower edge are two-and-a-half semicircular elements (W.: 7.8mm) with recessed perforations (one is broken, as part of the break to one end of the object). It would have been through these holes that the frame was sewn to the fabric purse (Geake 2001, 43). On the upper edge is are two pairs of crudely incised transverse lines. Such an arrangement can be seen on a purse frame illustrated in Read (2001, 132; ref. 917). | Subjects: | Frame | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Creed, Kath - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
