The two fragments are conjoining.The frame is curving and has an 'L' shaped cross-section.The upper face of the longer side of the L-shape is decorated with stamped dots forming a pattern of crude leaf shapes, circles and lines. One terminal of the frame remains and has an angled rounded projection with a large circular aperture. There is a single pierced hole at the edge through the short side of the L-shape.
Date: Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval - c. 1450 - 1550

A similar fragment of frame, but with incised line decoration, is recorded in Egan, G 2005, Material culture in an age of transition, page 62, no. 268

Several similar purse frame fragments have been recorded on the PAS database, including: WMID-999A5A; WMID-D800B7; SF-F84CE0; PUBLIC-005611; LEIC-97C312; LIN-6FAEE6 and SF-A1A952. David Williams comments that L shaped purse frames are commonly associated with Class A1 purse bars (long bars with attached frames) and should be considered to date from c. AD 1450 to c. AD 1550.
