Description: | Copper alloyPurse Mount or Hanger, as identified by finder. Cast ring of sub-rectangular section, internal diameter 14.6mm, decorated on one flat side by a continuous series of tiny ring and dot. A rectangular pendant mount, bent and narrowed in its middle, is wrapped around the ring, and retains a pair of domed rivets of head diameter 3.4mm, shank diameter of 1.7mm, and length 3.8mm; the back side of this mount is broken across a rivet hole. A further smaller ring, of width 2mm and internal diameter 7mm is also threaded onto the larger decorated ring, being made of wire with its ends clenched together. The pendant mount attached the decorated ring to a strap, while the smaller ring is presumably one of several holding a fabric or leather purse. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1450. Length (overall): 44mm, Width (diameter of large ring): 20.8mm, Thickness (large ring): 2.4mm, Weight: 3.96gms.
