Description: | Semi-angular handle lug from a medieval or post medieval copper alloy cauldron. The handle would have been cast integrally with the cauldron and sat in the angle of the neck. Some parts of the vessel body remain around the upper end of the lug but the lower is worn smooth showing no sign of attachment. The handle is 72.6mm long at it's longest orientation, 32.6mm wide, 10.5 mm thick and weighs 54.8 grams. The handle is sub-rounded in section, 11mm by 9.5mm with the worn remains of a casting line running down the outer edge.
At the upper end the handle met the vessel at a right angle, part of the vessel body remains around this end, although not enough to accurately measure it's thickness. The lower end met the vessel at a 45 degree angle and the foot was extended into a drop shape, sitting point downwards, this foot is 27.2mm long by 13.7mm wide. | Subjects: | Cauldron Handle lug | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
