Description: | An incomplete purse frame bar and loop; the side bars are rectangular of flat section with a small raised panel at either side of the central boss; the bars are broken and the ends missing; there are no pendant frames remaining; the central boss is a half-oval shield shape, decorated on one side with thick white metal motif in the form of an S, and on the other with an XX surrounded by a border of white metal/niello of which approximately 1/2 is intact; there appears to have been further white metal/niello decoration on the bars themselves, but it is now so fragmentary that it is impossible to discern the design. The loop is a long oval the top of which is broken and missing, the loop and its collar appear to have been cast-in-one with the long shank which runs through the boss of the bar. The shank is circular in section.
