Description: | Sheet copper alloy vessel fitting, 60mm long, 45mm long, 15mm high, 1mm thick. The artefact is made from a sheet of copper alloy and is sup-triangular in plan, there is a convex crease running down the centre, this crease is 22mm wide and 15mm high, and narrows towards the end to form a point, the tip of the artefact is damaged. Either side of the central crease the edges are 10mm wide with two rivet holes 4mm in diameter on either side.
The object has a mid green surface, there are regular patchy remains of dark green which is that original patina, particularly on the reverse. There are patches on the top, by the rivets of light green corrosion. The aperture is slightly misshapen.
Similar examples have been excavated in London and are fitting on the back of a vessel (in this case a ladle) and formed a handle attachment. The handle fitting into the semicircular aperture, and the semicircular hole securing the handle into place, this has been dated to the late Medieval Period. | Subjects: | handle mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Adams, Kurt - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
