Description: | Only one arm of the purse bar remains. The arm terminal is a horizontal conical shape with a rounded base as the terminal. Protruding from the narrow platform of the conical shape is a narrowed, short, circular sectioned rod. The other side of this rod is a long shank, which is also circular in section. This shank increases gradually in diameter towards the centre of the purse bar. This portion of the arm is decorated with double-stranded cross-hatching which is defined by niello. The terminal of this portion is broken, but not recently. This terminal shows a large air bubble within the metalwork. Protruding from the lower edge of this wider portion of the arm is a a flat elongated rectangular shape which has three circular holes. There are traces of a dark green patina. | 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: | 1066
