Description: | Probably a copper alloy attachment plate for a handle, possibly a Late Medieval or Post Medieval skimmer handle attachment plate. The sheet has a central semi circular raised section with flat sections to either side. The central raised section tapers to a point at one end. There are four rivet holes, two to each side, one near the wider end and one about two thirds of the way down. The wide end is probably complete, with the two corners cut off at an angle.
This item appears to be a reinforced socket to hold a rod only something flat. It might be a skimmer handle attachment plate as illustrated in Egan (1998, Fig 126) although it could equally have been used for the same purpose on another tool.
It is 74.5mm long, 24.9mm wide, 7.7mm thick and the sheet is 0.5mm thick; it weighs 5.79 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
