Late medieval fragment of copper alloy purse bar or frame, both ends broken. Round section (diameter 4mm-5mm), both ends broken, length c.135mm, bent into rough curve. Five integral loops (two complete) at c.32mm centres. Cf. Norwich Households no.289 and Read 2001 no.917. Both these examples are identified as bars. It is possibly that all three are an abnormal type of pendent frame. This piece seems too long to be from a bar. The complete frame must have been more than 270mm long, given that this fragment must be less than half of the original length. Second half 15th century.
