Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy sub-circular section of a purse frame typically of Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval dating (c.1450 to c.1550). Late Medieval purse frames came in several sections. The main part consisted of a purse bar and hanger which hung off the belt. The purse bar supported the main part of the purse.
