Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy purse bar of Post-Medieval date. One terminal end of the bar survivies intact, the remainder of the object now incomplete due to old breaks. It is U-shaped in section, slightly curved in profile due to post-depositional damage, and tapers to a rounded point that has been bent outwards to an angle of 90 degreees from the plane of the bar. The back face of the bar is undecorated and has a single circular perforation, while the front face is decorated with traces of double incised cross-hatched decoration, possibly with traces of inlaid niello. The fragment measures 43.70mm in length, 8.42mm in width, 5.18mm in thickness, and weighs 6g. This is an incomplete purse bar frame of LMMC Type A with close parallels noted in Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 290) and Suffolk (SF-716E31 and SF-1D1A71). It is of probable 16th to 17th century AD date.
