Description: | Cast copper-alloy vessel handle shaped like a dolphin. The head and body of the creature are semi-circular, culminating in a rounded point protruding very slightly from the point where the body curves round in the opposite direction into the tail. There is a smooth 'crest' on the head of the creature which follows the curve of the head. The tail curves round to meet the body and the end of the tail is trilobate. The central 'lobe' of the tail follows the line of the body and terminates in a pointed tip. The other two 'lobes' are positioned either side of the tail, at right angles to the central 'lobe'. One of these terminates in a pointed tip and the other adjoins the main body of the creature.
