Description: | An incomplete Late Medieval or Early Post-Medieval (1450 -1550) copper alloy purse bar of Ward Perkins type B1 with suspension loop, retaining a loop from the (now missing) frame at one end and missing its rove at the other end. It measures 57.80x53.18x8.54mm and weighs 33.04g.The bar has a central 'shield-shaped' block through which the suspension loop passes. It is decorated with two inwardly-pointing diagonal grooves, on one face appearing rather more like a V. On this face there is a deep triangular hole projecting inwards at the top of one diagonal. There is similar on the other diagonal, though it appears shallower and rather more like a pit of corrosion. The central block measures 16.26x12.26x8.54mm and has a c.8mm long collar to either side, c.6mm in diameter. The arms extend c.9mm and measure c.5mm in diameter. The surviving rove is 5.32mm wide and 8.30mm in diameter. The D-shaped loop which survives around the arm measures 14.55x11.71x3.40mm. Its break is old.The suspension loop is tear-drop-shaped with a triple moulded collar on the outside edges only and a circular rove beneath the central block (3.81mm wide and 7.55mm diameter). It measures 57.80mm in length and max.19.00mm wide (internal dimensions 24.93x10.63mm).Reference: Ward Perkins 1940, 'London Museum Medieval Catalogue' 167-8, fig. 52, ref. B1.
