Title
medieval purse frame
Description
English: A Medieval copper alloy purse hanger. The hanger is almost complete and is a three arched example formed of a large semicircle flanked by two smaller ones. The ends are short straight bars with a narrow raised collar and then an oval knop terminal. One terminal is missing. It is oval in cross-section with a dark green patina. Purse hangers were freely swinging, held at each end, usually by a bar mount, to a girdle. When they were not used to attach purses to belts such objects were often used to attach knives. A close parallel can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 223; refs. 1198); these date to the second half of the 14th century.
