Description: | A copper alloy purse bar and hanging loop. The loop is in the form of an inverted triangle with slightly curving sides and would allow for a belt 36mm wide and 7mm thick to pass through it. The shank passes through the block and ends in a slightly squashed spherical rove. The bars end in bicinical knops. No decoration is visible on the object.
The London Museum Medieval Catalogue (1940)considers these not to be in common use before 16th century. | 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: | 1500
