Title
Medieval to Post Medieval purse bar frame (plan).
Description
English: Late Medieval to early Post Medieval (c. 1450 to c. 1600) purse bar fragment: In plan the fragment is an arm with broken terminals. These breaks are not recent. The arm is sub-circular in section and towards one terminal the arm is narrowed and off-centre. Integral to the edge of the wider portion of the arm there is sub-rectangular protrusion with sloping terminals and a circular perforation at each terminal. The widest portion of the arm is decorated with a row of low-relief large, double-stranded X's.

The surface of the bar has a light green-yellow patina with a patch of red copper corrosion. It measures 64.84mm long from terminal to terminal, 11.85mm wide and 5.92mm thick. It weighs 14.81g.

Margeson (1993) illustrates a similar decorated example, No. 290 which is dated to c. 1650 to 1700. Other frames are illustrated in the London Museum Catalogue (1940), and are classed as A2 types dating to the mid 15th to 16th centuries.
