Description: | A copper-alloy purse bar of Ward-Perkins Type B1, late 15th to early 16th century AD. The central block is rectangular in shape and has a central vertical hole. The block is decorated on one side with an incised cross with one dot in each quarter. The bar is very short, of circular cross-section and increases in diameter towards the ends; here there is a slot, to which is attached a loop from the missing frame. The bar terminates at each end in a moulded knob. The suspension loop is elongated and has a moulded, three-ribbed horizontal band at the bottom. The shank is of circular section and is fitted into a ring-shaped rove. The purse bar is slightly corroded. It measures 61.7mm high, by 50.2mm wide and 13.6mm thick. The weight is 51.43g.
