Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy purse bar of Medieval to post-Medieval date, c. 1450-c. 1550 (Ward Perkins 1940: 165, fig. 50, Type A2). The piece consists of the majority of one arm. It is generally sub-circular in cross-section and has an attachment plate on the underside with two small circular perforations, about1.9mm in diameter. The terminal has a length of 6.9mm and is circular in cross-section. It expands in width slight towards its convex end. The top and the sides of the arm are decorated with a saltire cross formed of three parallel grooves. These are partially filled with decorative off-white decayed material, possibly niello. At the top of the arm, adjacent to the cross at the terminal end, two parallel groves are f9illed with the same decayed material. This fragment has traces of a green patina and the break is old and abraded. 6.0 x 11.3 x 8.1mm. Weight: 12.71g.
