Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy medieval (AD c.1450-c.1500) purse consisting of part of the bar and missing one of the side bars and the central loop. Overall, the fragment is 66.6mm long, 14.4mm wide and 13.8mm thick. It weighs 21.81g. The fragment consists of a central cuboidal boss, a cylindrical bar and a globular terminal. The central boss measures 13.7mm long, 11.6mm wide and 9.9mm thick. It has a circular piercing through it, where the the attachment loop would have sat. A very short stump of a side bar projects from one end of the boss. The complete side bar projects from the other end. It measures 38.4mm long and 5.8mm in diameter. The globular terminal has four deep diagonal grooves in it that create a spiral. No other decoration survives on the very worn surfaces of the purse bar.
