Description: | Copper alloy looped fitting probably from a purse bar of late medieval to post medieval date, c. 15th to 17th centuryThe fitting is incomplete, missing the shank and basal rivet (with a surviving length of 35.9mm and a weight of 8.9g). The loop is of sub-oval form (with a width of 18.0mm, a length of 29.3mm; internal: 12.1mm x 23.1mm) and is also of ova section (7.2mm wide and 2.8mm thick). Beneath the shaft expands slightly at the collar before narrowing to the circular-sectioned shank (4.5mm diameter), which would have swivelled within the box of the purse bar. The shank has broken at its apex. There is no applied decoration discernible on the loop. The surface has a pale to mid-green patina.
