Description: | A cast copper-alloy artefact, possibly a knopped terminal from the side-bar of a now incomplete purse. The fragment is flat conical in shape and circular in section. At the terminal end it is seemingly decorated with a bas relief angelic figure. At the attachment end there appear to be the beginnings of the side-bar. This 'bar' is 4.2mm in diameter. This compares with the knop which is 10.3mm at the terminal end, tapering to 8.1mm at the attachment end. Although attribution is difficult, the object would arguably have come from a Ward-Perkins (1940, 162-165) Type A purse. The section of the bar might suggest a Type A1, as these tended to be circular in section (Ward-Perkins 1940, 164). | 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: | 1450
