Description: | Copper-alloy drop handle and handle lug from a chafing dish. The drop handle is a T-shaped frame, not perfectly symmetrical as one of the angles between the stem and the cross-piece is markedly curved. It is fairly corroded, but seems to be basically hexagonal in cross-section with some lumps and casting flaws. If it hadn't been still attached to its handle lug it would have very much resembled one of the T-shaped horse-harness buckles used to link straps of different sizes. The cross-piece is 58 mm wide, the stem 29 mm wide. The handle lug is the conventional thick rounded shape, in this case a distinctly elongated oval, pierced in the centre to hold the handle across the base of the stem of the T. At one end is a short rivet to attach it to the body of the vessel. The lug is now fractured through to the perforation and the handle is also cracked across the base of the stem. It measures 22 mm long by 14 mm wide, and is 7 mm thick.
