Broad period: MEDIEVAL
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete and heavily abraded cast copper alloy purse bar of late Medieval to early post Medieval date. Approximately one half of the purse bar survives with the break at the point where a suspension loop between the two halves of the bar would have been located. The bar is sub-oval in section, the outer terminal is abraded and has a truncated circular projection visible in cross section which would have had a separate fitting acting as a 'stopper' or end-cap, which is now missing. The opposite end of the terminal, which would have abutted the fitting for the suspension loop, appears…
