Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy purse frame of Late Medieval to early post-Medieval date. This artefact is an example of a London Museum type B3 frame (see Ward-Perkins 1967: 167).
The central block has sub-rectangular surfaces and a vertical central aperture. The two arms extend horizontally from the central block. They are of circular section and only a small amount of each survives. The loop is circular, with a convex outer surface and flat inner surface. At the base it extends into a vertical arm, the offset lower portion sitting within the central block and being held in place by a sub-circular stop at the base.
The artefact measures 30.7mm long, 40.4mm high and 7.4mm thick. The weight is 13.39g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
