Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy purse frame of post-medieval date. It consists of a strip of metal, tapering to a point at one end and roughly triangular in cross section. The broader end shows evidence of a break. Its base is slightly concave and at the tip the remains of a small, circular hole can be seen. The narrow end curves round slightly. One face is covered with diagonal tool marks. A very similar, but larger, fragment from Norwich is illustrated by Margeson (1993, 42, fig.24, no.290) in a 17th century context. LMMC (1940, 158-171) Type A. Length: 38.59mm, width: 5.74mm, thickness: 4.98mm, weight: 4.26g
