Description: | Fragment of a handle of a prestigious cast cu-alloy (bronze or brass) vessel dating to the Late Medieval or Early Post-Medieval period. The vessel that this handle fragment comes from was shaped like a small bucket with two loops on either side of the rim which would have received the angled part of the handle (see image). The handle itself could have been either semi-circular or almost flat trefoil-shaped. The bucket was comparatively small with a diameter of probably 140mm and a height of c. 160mm as surviving complete examples from Germany and the Netherlands suggest. The vessel would have been part of the religious furniture of a major church or monastery in the area. v Falke, O. and Meyer, E. 1988. Bronzegefaesse des Mittelalters.
