Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy purse hanger or arched pendent mount of Medieval date.The mount is of thin section, its flat surfaces exhibiting file marks and bearing traces of a white-metal coating. Approximately half of the central arch remains; it is wider than the remaining flanking arch. A short horizontal bar extends outwards at 90 degrees from the end of the flanking arch, terminating in a downward-pointing hook. The piece measures 29.2mm long, 11.6mm wide and 1.6mm thick. The weight is 1.45g.Similar mounts have been found in London (cf. Egan and Pritchard 1991: 223, no. 1198). The London pendent mounts were dated largely on the basis of French stone sculptures, examples of which were found dating from the mid 13th to mid 15th centuries.
