Description: | A copper-alloy two-arched purse hanger. The hanger has a straight bar, neither narrowed nor offset, and a single internal projection ending in a slight knop. It measures 19 mm long and 19 mm wide, and is 3 mm thick. Examples with two internal projections are illustrated in Whitehead (1996, 43; 245, 246, 247), where they are tentatively identified as strap clasps. A variety of arched purse hangers can be seen in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 219-224), however, together with sculptural depictions of the objects in use, which confirm the identification as purse hangers. Those from London date to the 13th 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: | 1200
