Description: | The cast copper alloy handle from a skillet or posnet of probable post medieval date. The handle measures 78.7mm by 23.2mm by 18.4mm and weighs 87.3g. The main part of the handle has a flat upper surface and a convex base, forming a D-shaped cross section. It narrows slightly towards the dropped zoomorphic terminal. The flat part of the handle is decorated with incised lines based around central lozenges. A similar handle can be seen in 'Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from Exeter 1971-80.' (1984, p. 345, fig. 192, no. 159). The Exeter example is not closely dated but is pre-18th century. | Subjects: | Handle Cooking | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
