Title |
Broken Purse Bar (drawing). |
||
Description |
English: A copper-alloy purse bar dating to the 16th Century. The purse bar is broken and has lost one of the bars. Type B8 purse bars are recognisable from the form of the central boss and the absence of a pendant loop. Type B8 show the extreme development of the purse bar. This artefact consists of a suspension bar (rather than a loop); the bar terminates on both ends with a spherical decorated knop. The knops are decorated with incised grooves. The shank of this bar goes through the central block and terminates with the rove. The rove is undecorated. The central block is undecorated, it is rectangular. One bar has been broken off (the break looks well worn). The other bar extends, at a slightly bent angle from the central block. This too terminates with a decorated knop. The decoration on the suspension bar knops consists of an incised line running around the circumference of the knop (vertically), therefore dividing the knops into two sections. The sections on the terminal ends are further decorated with incised lines dividing the knop into quarters. The knop of the main bar is also divided into two sections by a well-worn groove running (vertically) around the circumference of the knop. The end section is further divided into two, horizontally. The metal has a mid greyish-green patina. |
