Description: | Medieval copper alloy purse frame suspension loop, probably of 15th or 16th century date. The loop is D-shaped with an oval cross section. The sides are decorated with a chevron motif constructed with recessed lines, which possibly originally contained niello. The design is contained by two linear incised lines at the top, within which the loop is plain. The bottom of the loop is decorated with incised vertical lines, coming off the circular moulding before the broken integral axis, which would have been joined to the purse frame. | 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: | 1400
