Description: | Part of a copper-alloy purse bar, dating from the Late Medieval to early post-Medieval periods.The piece represents the end of one side of the bar; it is of circular section and has a perforated tab at its base. At the distal end of the bar, a spigot is located within a truncated-conical terminal. A pattern of double cross-hatched grooves decorates the surfaces of the bar, with a pair of vertical lines marking the end of the design and a second pair at the outer end of the terminal knob. All of these grooves contain traces of niello.Length: 44.9mm; height: 11.8mm; width: 8.3mm; weight: 15.06g.This is a typical example of a London Museum Type A purse bar (see Ward Perkins 1967: 162 - 167).
