Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy purse bar, inscribed. The bar is subrectangular in section. It terminates in a cylindrical knob after a constriction. There are two small sub-rectangular lugs on the lower side of the bar, pierced with circular holes. The bar is broken before its central part. Both sides are engraved with lettering. One side may read TeCVM[..] (as in the religious formula Dominus Tecum). The lettering on the other side may be read as AVe MARIA with a reversed R. There are traces of a black corrosion product, possibly from a silver coating. This can be compared to Ward Perkins 1940 type A purse mounts.
