Description: | Part of a late medieval to early post-medieval copper-alloy purse bar.The length of bar is of circular cross section, with a slight taper at the inner end, where the break has occurred. Part of a narrower spigot extends from the opposite end of the bar and would originally have had an attached cap. A panel containing a double-grooved saltire decorates the surface of the bar, retaining some of its niello infill, with a plain groove border at either end. A tab with two sewing holes projects vertically downwards from the bar's underside.Length: 48.1mm; height: 12.4mm; width: 7.5mm. Weight: 15.96g.This is a typical example of a London Museum Type A purse bar (see Ward Perkins 1967: 162-167).
