Description: | Fragment of a cast cu-alloy purse frame: one arm of a purse bar dating from the Late Medieval period, c. AD1475-1550. The fragment is of roughly cylindrical shape with a small smaller cylindrical terminal at one end - which was probably where it was attached to the centrepiece. The underside of the bar shows a thin line of cu-alloy with two perforations; this is where the purse/pouch would have been attached. Both perforations are extremely worn - probably worn through which would have rendered the purse useless in the end. The bar was decorated with a simple moulded (or possibly ?inlaid (niello?)) criss-cross pattern.
