Description: | A cast copper alloy drop-handle from a vessel, which resembles the tail of a fish or dolphin. Due to its shape it is likely that this object dates to the Roman period.
The object has been cast as one piece, as a flat sheet of shaped metal. It is broken on one end, where the plate is at its widest, the tail then tapers into a trefoil tail terminal.
There are traces of a red (possible) enamel on the surface of the object.
The surface is heavily pitted and corroded, but it is a mid greyish-green colour. | Subjects: | drop-handle | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
