Description: | A cast copper-alloy belt or purse hanger of Medieval date. It is hexagonal in section and in the form of three arches with one large central arch flanked by two smaller examples. At each end the hanger terminates in short arms with projecting globular knops with transverse collars. The object has encrusted surfaces with the remains of a dark green patina and measures 52.51mm in length, 13.15mm in width/height, 3.29mm in thickness and weighs 4.07g.This is a Medieval belt or purse hanger that would have swung freely from a girdle to allow objects such as purses or knives to be attached to the belt. It finds a close parallel in an example from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 1198) and dates to the 13th or 14th centuries AD.
