Description: | A bronze (copper-alloy) vessel handle from a large cooking or storage vessel, dating from the late medieval to post-medieval period (circa 1350 - 1850). The fragment may have been part of a cauldron or similar large vessel. The handle is a flat type with a rounded terminal. The handle is broken but tapers inwards from the end which would have been attached to the vessel, down to the terminal. The upper surface is decorated with incised linear motifs. The reverse of the handle is undecorated and has a D-shaped section. The break, where the handle broke from the vessel, is very worn and corroded. The handle is a mid greyish-green colour and the surface is slightly pitted.
