Description: | A copper-alloy handle that has broken off something. The handle is in the form of a standing figure holding something in its hands which rests against its chest. The item is very worn so determining detail is not easy, but it appears as though the top of the item held within the fgiures hands is in its mouth. It may represent a musical instrument or perhaps a bottle of something. The figure is too worn for the artefact to be dated on stylistic grounds and it may be a broken handle from a number of different articles. It is probably a little too large to be a post-medieval pipe tamper, although examples with figures on are not uncommon. It may be a spoon handle, or perhaps the handle from a post-medieval to modern poker. The remains of the handle measure 50 mm long and 15.6 mm wide. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brindle, Tom - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
