English: A worn cast copper-alloy fragment of a pendent frame from late medieval or early post-medieval purse. The object is elongated and broadly rectangular in shape, and L-shaped in cross section. There is one sewing hole on its lower side. It would have been through such holes that the frame was sewn to the fabric purse (Geake 2001, 43). On the upper surface there are traces of incised diagonal double grooves decorating the frame in a series of 'X's: these might originally have been nielloed. There are a series of zig-zag incisions filling the centre of the areas within the incised lines. The reverse is plain. In plan the frame has a very shallow curved 'S' shape. The artefact has a dark-green/brown patina, overlying a lighter green corroded metal. Such frames are known from Type A1 purses (according to the London Museum Catalogue): the same decorative treatment can be seen on purse elements illustrated in Read (2001, 130, 131; refs. 905, 910).
