Description: | Cast copper alloy fragment of a purse bar. The object is probably a knopped terminal from the side-bar of a now incomplete purse. It consists of a sub-spherical element from the centre of which protrudes a circular sectioned bar. The bar is 44.10mm in length and has a width of 5.89. It is circular in cross-section. The sub-spherical terminal features a prominent median ridge. The terminal is rendered as a solid bell, with transverse 'slot' terminating at each end in a circular 'sound hole'. This treatment can be paralleled on a purse bar recorded on this database, ref. CAM-EA9050. The terminal is12.84mm in diameter. It has a rough mottled brown and green patina and is very corroded. Small flecks of gilding can be seen on the sub-spherical terminal. A similar fragment on the database is HAMP-1F0655.
