Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy purse bar of Post-Medieval date. It has a small and undecorated shield shaped boss with vertical circular perforation. To either side extend short integrally cast arms that are oval shaped in section with flattened ends. The central boss is perforated by a suspension loop that is oval shaped in form with a short flaring collar above the boss and a biconical knop beneath. The entire object is undecorated and has a mid green patina. It measures 51.41mm in length (including loop), 45.10mm in width, 9.83mm in thickness, and weighs 25.45g. This purse bar is similar to LMMC Type B1 purse bars that are typified by their small size and short arms (LMMC: pp. 167-168). This would suggest a probable 16th century AD date for the current example.
