Title
IOW-9EF468 Medieval to Post-Medieval Purse Frame
Description
English: A fragment of a Medieval to post-Medieval cast copper-alloy purse frame (c. AD 1450-c. 1525).

This small portion of frame is 'L'-shaped in cross-section and curved in side profile. One outer face is decorated with double zigzag grooves. These grooves were probably filled with niello. However, none has survived. The other outer face is plain and has three circular holes at one end (a break has occurred across one of the holes). There is a similar hole further towards the other end.
The outer faces have a shiny mid to dark green patina and the inner face has a matt green patina with off-white corrosion products. Each break is abraded.
58.11 x 7.63 x 4.63mm. Weight: 6.84g.

This frame is probably from a Type A1 purse, dating from the late 15th to early 16th century (Ward-Perkins 1940: 162-167).

For similar examples see Read (2001, 130; refs. 907-909).
