Description: | A copper alloy flat handle from a vessel. The handle is 55.5mm long, 34.1mm wide and 6.6mm thick. It is wide at one end and tapers to the other end which is not complete. The wide end curves downwards and has broken edges as if it was integral with the vessel. At the narrow end the top surface steps down leaving a plate at the end and there is a rivet projecting upwards in the centre. The terminal to the handle probably attached at this point, though the join must always have been a weak point. Flat handles are know from Roman, medieval and post medieval vessels. This example looks most likely to be Roman though no close parallel has been found. There are traces of tinning on the surface and the handle has a smooth mid green patina. | Subjects: | flat handle | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
