Description: | A purse bar, complete save for one of the terminals, though the separate loop is missing (as well as the two parts of the frame). On either side of the central block is a zoomorphic head which clasps the bar in its jaws. On the lower face of the bar are projecting 'tabs' each of which has a pair of circular apertures from which the purse was suspended. On either side of the block there are incised or cast lines inlaid with niello. On one side three lines form a cross; on the other there is a pair of inward-slanting lines with a V-like shape between. On the outer part of the bar the niello decoration comprises a double line diaper pattern with a short zigzag in each lozenge.
