Medieval - Post Medieval purse frame fragment |
||
| Description |
English: Fragment of a Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper alloy purse frame, 1475 - 1600 AD. The fragment is part of the side of the purse, with old breaks at both ends. The lower part of the fragment is V shaped in cross-section and has a curved profile. There are two circular holes in one side of the V, these holes would have enabled a cloth bag to be sewn to the frame to complete the purse The side of the purse frame narrows towards the top and the V-section of the frame folds inwards until the frame becomes a solid rectangular section. At the very top, the frame folds outwards at 90 degrees to form a circular projection. The projection has broken at a pierced rivet hole, so that only a hemispherical hole remains. When complete this would have allowed the lower half of the purse frame to be riveted to a horizontal purse bar which would have clasped the purse shut. It is 55.2mm long, 8.1mm by 3.2mm at the top and 7.4mm by 6.5mm at the lower break; it weighs 8.27grams.
Ward Perkins (1940:169) suggests metal framed purses first became popular around 1475, but lost their appeal by the end of the 16th century. |
