Description: | A cast copper-alloy purse frame. There are two pieces that form the object. The first is a rectangular suspension loop. This is attached to a horizontal bar by means of the shaft of the suspension loop passing through a circular hole in the bar. The loop is rectangular in section with scratches on one surface. The shaft has a large bulbous area with a collar on upper and lower surfaces. This narrows beneath this to pass through the bar. Below the bar is a hemispherical terminal. The horizontal bar is circular in section and narrows towards the joint with the loop. At the terminal it narrows significant before extending outwards into a hemispherical terminal. The bar is broken at its attachment hole (to the loop) and thus there is only one arm. It is similar to WMID-D25D17 and LMMC, p. 167-9 (type B). It is probably of sixteenth-century date. Length 41.54mm x height 27.28mm x thickness 9.45mm; 13.71g.
