Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy purse bar of late Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is missing its suspension loop and frame due to old breaks. The bar has a central shield shaped boss that is undecorated and has a vertical circular aperture through which the now missing suspension loop would have passed. To each side of the boss extends short cylindrical arms that terminate in globular, spherical terminals that are also undecorated. It measures 75.39mm in width/length, 14.08mm in height (at boss), 8.82mm in thickness (at boss), and weighs 33.63g.This is a simple cast copper-alloy purse bar that draws parallels with LMMC Type B purse bars (LMMC: pp. 167). The presence of a shield shaped boss suggests it may belong to the Type B1 purse bars and as such would date to the 15th or 16th centuries AD, c.1450-1600 AD.
