Description: | A worn and twisted cast copper-alloy fragment: part of the pendent frame of a late medieval or early post-medieval purse. The object is V-shaped in cross section. There is one sewing hole on the lower side of this fragment. It would have been through such holes that the frame was sewn to the fabric purse (Geake 2001, 43). On the outer side there are traces of incised diagonal double grooves decorating the frame in a series of 'V's: these might originally have been nielloed. The section of the artefact together with the absence of any inscription suggests that this was part of the frame from a Ward-Perkins (1940, 164) Type A1 purse. For similar examples see Read (2001, 130; refs. 907-909).
