Description: | An extremely worn fragment of Late Medieval/ Early Post-Medieval (1450-1550) copper alloy purse bar of Ward Perkins Class A1. The bar is circular in cross-section (max.diameter c.7mm) and is decorated with a double strand lattice flanked to either end with a single groove. This would have been infilled with niello, some of which still survives but is covered with a light green corrosion product. Both ends have worn breaks, one just before the central block, the other at the narrowed section where the frame would have been suspended. On the lower side of the surviving bar is a projecting tab which is pierced with two holes one of which has been damaged, c.2mm in diameter. Measures 39.19x11.18x6.18mm and weighs 11.4g.Cf.
