Late Medieval copper alloy purse bar with central loop dating 1450-1550AD. The suspension loop is intact as is the boss which has 8 slightly curved projections and may well have once held a heraldic device and would probably originally have been gilded. The length is 65mm and width 35mm probably an LMMC Type B variant, now Williams Class E1. Purse bars are a category of distinctive purses with metal frames and suspension features by which they are suspended from the girdle ... From the frame, made of iron, tin-plated iron, brass, silver or gold, hangs the leather bag part of the purse. In later centuries, other materials too were used, mainly textile. The frame surrounds the purse's aperture. Therefore it must be wide enough to admit a hand.<\/p>
Purses were generally suspended from belts during the medieval period, and essentially were simple leather or cloth bags gathered at the neck.<\/p>
This example has been published by Williams (2018, 7; fig. 15).<\/p>", "notes":null, "reuse":null, "reusePeriodID":null, "created":"2011-02-15 13:30:01", "updated":"2019-08-15 19:48:21", "secwfstage":"4", "findofnote":null, "objecttypecert":"1", "datefound1":"2011-01-31", "datefound2":null, "inscription":null, "museumAccession":null, "subsequentAction":"2", "objectCertainty":"Certain", "dateFromCertainty":"1", "dateToCertainty":"1", "dateFoundFromCertainty":null, "dateFoundToCertainty":null, "subPeriodFrom":"3", "subPeriodTo":"1", "objdate1period":"29", "objdate2period":"36", "secuid":"PAS4D5A7FD9001A4A", "material1":"7", "material2":null, "manmethod":"1", "decmethod":null, "decstyle":null, "complete":"4", "surface":null, "manufactureID":"1", "culture":null, "smrRef":null, "hoardcontainer":null, "institution":"LANCUM", "reason":null, "primaryMaterial":"Copper alloy", "primaryBMmaterial":"10627", "secondaryMaterial":null, "secondaryBMmaterial":null, "decoration":null, "style":null, "manufacture":"Cast", "surfaceTreatment":null, "completeness":"Complete", "preservation":null, "periodFrom":"MEDIEVAL", "seneschalPeriodFrom":"MD", "bmPeriodFrom":"x14221", "periodoPeriodFrom":"p0gjgrsxwzx", "periodTo":"POST MEDIEVAL", "seneschalPeriodTo":"PM", "bmPeriodTo":"x41047", "periodoPeriodTo":"p0gjgrs6sgx", "reusePeriod":null, "ascribedCulture":null, "culturePeriodo":null, "cultureBM":null, "discmethod":"Metal detector", "fromCirca":"Circa", "toCirca":"Circa", "findSpotID":"416260", "countyID":"5156", "districtID":"4566", "regionID":"41431", "map25k":"SD8447", "map10k":"SD84NW", "knownas":"BURNLEY", "woeid":"23415883", "gridlen":"6", "geonamesID":null, "accuracy":"100", "what3words":null, "source":"From finder", "coinID":null, "obverseDescription":null, "obverseInscription":null, "reverseDescription":null, "reverseInscription":null, "cciNumber":null, "denominationID":null, "degreeOfWear":null, "allenType":null, "vaType":null, "mackType":null, "abcType":null, "bmcType":null, "reeceID":null, "dieAxis":null, "moneyer":null, "revtypeID":null, "categoryID":null, "typeID":null, "tribeID":null, "statusID":null, "rulerQualifier":null, "denominationQualifier":null, "mintQualifier":null, "dieAxisCertainty":null, "initialMark":null, "reverseMintMark":null, "statusQualifier":null, "ruler1":null, "ruler2":null, "mintID":null, "rrcID":null, "ricID":null, "tribe":null, "ironAgeRegion":null, "ironAgeArea":null, "denomination":null, "nomismaDenomination":null, "dbpediaDenomination":null, "bmDenomination":null, "primaryRuler":null, "viaf":null, "rulerDbpedia":null, "nomismaRulerID":null, "secondaryRuler":null, "periodName":null, "dateRange":null, "mintName":null, "nomismaMintID":null, "pleiadesID":null, "mintGeonamesID":null, "mintWoeid":null, "mintOsID":null, "mintGettyID":null, "mintWoeID":null, "mintDbPediaID":null, "mintWhat3Words":null, "mintBritMuseumID":null, "wear":null, "nomismaWear":null, "dieAxisName":null, "category":null, "type":null, "moneyerID":null, "nomismaMoneyer":null, "emperorID":null, "romanMintID":null, "reverseType":null, "status":null, "jettonClass":null, "jettonType":null, "jettonGroup":null, "thumbnail":"https:\/\/finds.org.uk\/images\/thumbnails\/316789.jpg", "filename":"LANCUM-A7FD95.jpg", "filesize":"593", "imageLabel":"Late Medieval copper alloy purse bar with central loop dating 1450-1550AD.
