Description: | Cast copper-alloy handle lug from a vessel, probably a chafing dish. It has a circular loop, 16 mm in diameter and 4.5 mm thick, with a central perforation 7 mm in diameter. From one edge a short integral rivet projects, and there is a flaring collar at the junction of rivet and loop. Although this object looks superficially like a swivel, as the rivet is distinctly oval in section (5 x 6 mm) it would not have turned freely within a loop. In addition, drop handle lugs are well-known from surviving chafing dishes and, occasionally, other vessels.
