Description: | Identification by Jim Halliday.A small cast copper-alloy purse bar and suspension loop dating to the late 15th - early 16th century. The bar is short and circular in section culminating in separate round terminals which have been attached to each end. The purse appears to have been attached by a metal frame to four circular grooves in the bar, two on each side. The remains of part of the frame can still be seen attached to a groove on one side. The central block is shield shaped and has been decorated on one side with three incised lines radiating from the centre of the base. The other side is undecorated. The loop is attached above the block by a central shank and a rove securing it below. Remains of greenish enamel or possible corroded niello can be seen on the arms, loop and decoration on the central block. The metal itself is a dark greenish-grey colour with patches of brown.
