Description: | A cast copper-alloy purse bar of late Medieval to Post-medieval date. All that remains is the central boss and part of each arm, the rest missing due to old breaks. The central boss is rectangular in shape and section and is decorated on one side with a double lozenge and on the other with the letter T or I. It is pierced by a circular hole. The arms are circular in section and are broken relatively close to the boss making it difficult to ascertain whether this is a type A or type B bar. The part of one of the arms which remains is too short to tell whether there is a zoomorphic collar, the other may have one but it is very worn and therefore not possible to be certain.It measures 36.82mm in length, 13.01mm in width, 10.79mm in thickness and the bar is 8.07mm in circumference. The object weighs 16.74g.
