Description: | A worn copper-alloy fragment of part of the frame of a late medieval or early post-medieval purse. In profile the object is a shallow curve with an almost 90 degree turn into a broken loop at one end. The opposite end also appears to be broken across the beginning of a loop. Roughly at the centre of the fragment is a pierced semi-circular projection, now broken through the piercing. Such an arrangement can be seen on a purse frame illustrated in Read (2001, 132; ref. 917).The fragment measures 59.64mm in length and weighs 6.83g. At the turned-end it is flat in cross-section, measuring 6.16mm wide and 1.88mm thick. The hole is 4.7mm in diameter. The rest of the frame is oval in cross-section, measuring (max)5.3x4.3mm. The width of the frame is max.7.71mm at the semi-circular projection. The piercing here is 2.6mm in diameter.
