Title
Medieval or Post-Medieval purse frame
Description
English: A cast copper alloy harness fitting of Medieval date. The bar is rectangular, slightly curved and when viewed from above swells around two pierced holes along its length. The two pierced holes are separated by three rectangular suspension loops. At one end of the bar there is a short moulded terminal with a small rounded knop and a pierced hole. Traces of gilding can be seen surrounding the pierced holes, the outer surfaces of the suspension loops, and at the terminal end. The bar measures 10.56mm in height, 79.15mm in width, 7.35mm in thickness, and weighs 12.35g.

A similar example is noted on the PAS database from Cheshire (LVPL1602), and parallels are published by Griffiths (1986: figs. 22-24) that illustrate the attachment of rotating heraldic harness pendants positioned at the pierced holes along the length of the fitting. This indicates a Medieval date for the current example, c.12th-14th centuries AD.
