Description: | Cast, copper alloy purse bar. Centre and one arm only. The central knop is a rounded cube with a large, slightly off-centre, circular hole running from top to bottom (this would have housed the missing suspension loop). It is decorated on the front and back with an incised double strand saltire cross. At the proximal end of the remaining arm is an intergral, slightly flaring collar. The upper part of the collar is shaped with an angled notch and ends in a slight point. The arm is then narrowed from the collar and has a rounded rectangular section. A section of it is decorated with incised double lines in a lozenge pattern. On the underside of the decorated area is a small convex edged flange with three circular attachment holes (for the attachment of the fabric or leather of the purse). At the distal end the arm constricts to a short, circular sectioned bar which passes through a separately applied circular knop.
