Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy purse bar of medieval date. Only one arm of the purse bar remains and is circular in section with a globular knopped terminal, a worn break suggests this element is incomplete. The opposite end of the bar also terminates in a worn break from which the other half of the purse would have extended. A flat flange with three circular holes projects from the underside of the remaining bar to which the bag of the purse would have been sown.The decoration on the bar consists of two parallel circumferential rectangular panels flanked by triple banded collars. Both of the resulting panels have an incised cross-hatched design; one is widely spaced, the other compact.The metal has a dark greenish-brown patina and is slightly worn. The purse bar is 58.8mm long, 7.6mm in diameter and weighs 22.3g.
