Description: | A copper-alloy object, possibly a post-medieval purse bar. The object is 39.5 mm long. It has a circular hole in the centre, 5 mm in diameter, through which a bar or piece of fabric was presumably once passed. Either side of this hole the frame becomes rectangular, and is at angle to the circular centre of the object. The frame is open, creating two rectangular loops to either side, and on an angle to the plane of the central, circular loop. These rectangular loops are 12 x 6 mm in dimension. Once again, these loops were presumably for attachment, either for suspension of the object, or for suspending something from it. There appears to be slight damage at the top of the two rectangular loops, possibly where further loops were attached. The bottom of the object is flat. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tom Brindle | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
