Description: | Part of a medieval to post-medieval copper-alloy purse bar.The surviving piece represents part of the central loop of the bar. The lowermost element is a cylindrical spigot, which would have fitted within an aperture in the block. A moulded collar of three transverse ridges with interspersing grooves separates this spigot from the remains of the loop itself, which project above.Height: 31.9mm; width: 13.1mm; thickness: 7.2mm. Weight: 8.38g.PAS record WILT-5B631A shows a complete example of a London Museum Type B1 purse bar with a similar loop. A published parallel is Read no. 921, which the author dates to the period of the late 15th to early 16th century (2001: 128/Fig. 87).
