Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy suspension loop for a purse bar of late Medieval to early post Medieval date. The loop is sub-oval in shape with the curve of the upper edge being broader than that of the lower edge ('egg-shaped'). The loop is sub-square in section with rounded corners. Projecting from the base of the loop there is the shank which would have connected the loop to the purse bar or frame, possibly forming a swivel element. The shank is circular in section and incomplete.Such artefacts are typically dated to around the cusp of the Medieval and post Medieval periods. The dates given for this item are therefore c.1450-1650.
