Description: | The purse frame has a central rectangular block with a circular sectioned vertical hole running through it. In this hole is a copper alloy rivet with a bulbous head and incomplete circular sectioned shank. The rivet has a loose fit.
The block is decorated with low-relief cross-hatching which is filled with a black ?lacquer, possibly linseed oil. Protruding from either side of the block is an arm which has moulded decoration at the central terminal and then forms an oval shaped arm. The arms terminating with a slightly rounded edged flat surface. It first glance you presume the arms are broken, however the surface are flat, and have a similar patina and corrosion to the rest of the bar.
The surface of the frame is slightly corroded and only traces of a patina remain. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1475
