Description: | A cast copper-alloy side-bar from a now incomplete purse. The bar is circular in section, making it consistent with a Ward-Perkins (1940, 164) Type A1. It is also decorated with the 'lattice pattern' characteristic of such bars (ibid., 164). This incised decoration could have been filled with niello, although there are no surviving traces on this artefact. The bar has an attachment plate protruding from a slightly flattened lower edge; the plate features two drilled holes. The bar terminates in a knop of similar section shape, although it has reaches a width of 9.2mm.
