Description: | A copper alloy damaged handle escutcheon from a vessel of uncertain date. The escutcheon is 28.8mm long, 17.1mm wide and 7.1mm thick. It is a flat plate of metal which is uniformly 7.1mm thick. It is a sub-circular fitting with a sub-circular hole in it which has broken making it look like a hook. From on end projects a sub-triangular element which would have probably butted up against the vessel. A cylindrical projection from the end was probably the rivet fixing the escutcheon to the vessel. It is possible that this object dates from the Roman period. A handle escutcheon of different design is pictured in Bishop (1996), number 22. | Subjects: | mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
