Description: | A cast copper alloy purse bar fragment, dating to the 15-16th century. The rectangular central block and one of the arms of the bar survive. The block is small and has a central circular perforation with chamfered edges. There are no attachment plates or holes. The arm is circular in section and has a roughly spherical terminal divided into three by two hemispherical grooves. There is also a transverse groove to the very end of each terminal, which gives the appearance of the head of a screw in each end of the arms. The object is corroded and the arm is slightly bent. The metal surface is bright yellowy green in colour. The object has been coated in some kind of lacquer.
