Description: | A copper-alloy cast attachment loop from a handle most likely to be medieval or post medival circa 1400-1600 in date. It is roughly rectangular in shape with one flaring rounded end and one narrower end which has an integral rivet projecting from it, it measures 23mm in length and 15.7mm in width, it is 8mm in thickness. It also has a central circular hole, 7.6mm in diameter, through which the handle shaft itself would have passed originally. Similar attachment loops have been found with their handles from London and such handles could have come from a variety of vessels such as sheet bowls or caskets (Egan, 1998, 175, no 487), other examples are known from Norwich (Margeson, 1993, 80, fig 45, no 489-490). This example has patches of a black patina which might suggest it was used on a vessel which was exposed to fire such as a cooking vessel.
