Description: | A copper-alloy purse bar of late 15th to early 16th century AD date. The object has a central block with a vertical hole into which the now-missing hanger would have fitted. The two arms are of circular section and each terminate in a pointed knob. One of the arms is bent and the piece as a whole is corroded, although the surfaces retain traces of silvering or tinning. It measures 65mm long by up to 10.5mm wide (at the terminals) and 11.1mm high. It weighs 19g. | 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
