Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy purse bar of late Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is missing its suspension loop and frame due to old breaks. The bar has a central shield shaped boss that is undecorated and has a vertical circular aperture through which the now missing suspension loop would have passed. To each side of the boss extends short cylindrical arms that terminate in globular, spherical terminals. Each terminal has a circumferential rib flanked by grooves, and on its outer face has a transverse groove. The entire objetct measures 67.99mm in width/length, 8.79mm in height (at boss), 8.13mm in thickness (at boss), and weighs 17.01g.This purse bar fragment is from a London Museum Type B3 purse bar that characteristically lacks pendant loops for attachment of the purse bag to the bar (LMMC 1967: pp. 167-168). This type is dated in London to the late-15th to early-16th centuries AD.
