Description: | Incomplete copper alloy handle from a tankard or other vessel with integral lid, dating to the 15th century. The surface is worn and pitted, and has broken along its length - it would have extended to join the tankard body.The incomplete handle is U-shaped and the actual handle circular in section. It narrows to the break (4.5mm diameter), being thickest where it curves outwards (7.5mm diameter) and at the other end flattens out to a slightly concave 17.5mm wide end 3.5mm thick. Above this and slghtly behind are two semi-circular lugs, one of which is damaged, holding between them the remains of circular-sectioned axis bar which would have connected to the lid. Above his would have been a projection for the thumb to rest on, to put pressure on the lid to open. The curving length of the incomplete object is 46mm. It weighs 23.58g.
