Description: | Copper-alloy purse-hanger of 13th-century date. The artefact has a straight bar, straight or slightly diverging sides, and three arches; it is now slightly bent. There is a rounded knob at each corner of the outer edge, outside the outermost arch. The bar is not narrowed or offset, and the whole object has a slightly crude appearance. Whitehead (2003, 42-3) illustrates three very similar three-arched objects with bars, and tentatively identifies them as strap clasps. A variety of 13th-century arched purse hangers can be seen in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 219-224), however, together with sculptural depictions of the objects in use.
