Description: | Very worn fragment of Late Medieval copper alloy purse bar of Ward-Perkins (1940) type A2. It consists of an incomplete arm of the bar with worn and broken attachment holes extending.The fragment is slightly bent and all original patina is missing. Just over half the arm is decorated to one side (the top) with double criss-cross grooved lines, bound horizontally either end with a single grooved line. Below this area is the extension with two broken piercings for the purse to be attached to. At the end of the arm nearest this (which is 6x7mm in diameter, as it is through the fragment's entire length) is the remains of the narrow projection on which the frame would have hung, before the (also missing) larger terminal. The break at the other end of the bar has bright green corrosion. The fragment measures 54.8mm in length and weighs 14.81g.Late 15th century in date.
