Description: | A copper-alloy handle of uncertain date.
The piece takes the form of an arch with a loop on either end. The middle part is of roughly semi-circular section and terminates at each end in a moulded collar. Each loop is of thinner section and has a wide circular aperture. Attached to one of these loops is a folded piece of flat-section copper-alloy wire. This element would have been pushed through a slit in the vessel and the ends bent to secure the handle.
The object is heavily corroded. It measures 34.4mm long, 12.7mm wide and 26mm high. The weight is 8.29g. | Subjects: | Handle | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
