Description: | Fragment of Medieval - post Medieval, 16th century, copper alloy purse bar, AD.1400-1500. Only the central part of the frame remains where the suspension loop would have been supported. There is a short fragment of one of the limbs but the bar is otherwise completely lost. The central boss is inscribed on one side with I H S, and also carries letters on the reverse that are now illegible, an example in Read 2001, no.911 has A M on the this side, for 'Ave Maria' and inscribed limbs with AVE MA GRA PLENA. It is possible that when complete this example was similarly inscribed.Length: 37.16mmWidth: 19.6mmThickness: 9.28mmWeight: 19.21g
