Description: | The fragments of copper-alloy purses described below are all late 15th to early 16th century in date. 1: A fragment of a copper-alloy purse frame. This frame is rectangular and curvilinear in shape it measures 40mm in length and 7.8mm in width. It is hollow with a U-shaped cross-section. One face is decorated with five evenly spaced crosses formed of two sets, each of three grooves, crossed over eachother. On the other face there is one circular hole, which would have allowed to frame to have been sewn to the fabric purse. 2: A fragment of a copper-alloy purse frame, measuring 46.8mm in length and 7mm in width. This frame is again rectangular and curvilinear, hollow and has a U-shaped cross-section. One face is decorated with incised crosses and the other has two circular holes, again to allow it to be sewn to the fabric purse. 3: A copper-alloy central block of a purse with fragments of the purse bar projecting from either side of it. The block is rectangular in shape measuring 16.9mm in width and 11.5mm in length. It has a central circular perforation which would have accomodated the shank with its terminal loop and rove. The fragments of bar are cylindrical in shape and have protruding moulding on their upper faces.
