Description: | Handle lug and part of drop handle from a chafing dish. Both are made from copper alloy. The drop handle is 55mm long and 36mm wide. It is rectangular in cross-section, with a short central part and two longer side parts which flare outwards diagonally. At the centre of the short part, a pear-shaped handle lug survives; this is rectangular in cross-section, with a small circular-section integral rivet at its narrower end. The handle lug is free to move along the handle. The two objects are in good condition with a brown patina and weigh 26g. Chafing dishes with this type of handle include Lewis's Types B, C and D, which date to the 15th or 16th centuries.
