Description: | A fragment from a Bronze (copper-alloy) vessel, from the late medieval or post-medieval period. The fragment appears to be some sort of large handle from the side of the vessel, but it could also be a pot leg. The breaks at the terminals of the artefact make it difficult to be certain. The object is shaped like a letter ??J??. The top of the J is damaged, but appears to be relatively flat. The other terminal of the handle is simply broken and the break is well worn. The handle itself has a rectangular section with rounded edges.
The surface of this find is slightly corroded and worn. The original surface of this vessel would have had a polished dark green patina, though most of this has now worn away exposing the surface below. The broken edges are all extremely worn. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
