Title
Late Medieval - Early Post-Medieval Purse frame
Description
English: Fragment of Late Medieval/ Early Post-Medieval (c.1450-1500) copper alloy pendent frame from a purse (possibly Type A1 to A3), consisting of part of the L-shaped frame and broken suspension loop. It measures 76.15mm in curving length and weighs 12.07g.

Almost all the patina is lost. However where it survives on one side it shows lattice decoration, which would have been filled with niello (now lost). The other side has four sewing holes, three grouped together. Two holes have worn through the frame.

The flattened broken suspension loop has broken across the piercing 4.92mm in diameter. The frame is solid just before this and the suspension loop is set at roughly 135° to the frame.

The L-shaped section measures 6.47x6.04mm.
