Description: | A copper-alloy cast attachment loop and incomplete cast copper-alloy handle most likely to be medieval or post medival circa 1400-1600 in date. The handle is U-shaped with a roughly hexagonal cross-section and measures 40.7mm in width and 20.9mm in length, both terminals are missing due to old breaks. It passes through an oval shaped hole in the attachment loop.The attachment loop is roughly rectangular in shape with one flaring rounded end and one narrower end which has an integral rivet projecting from it, it measures 23.4mm in length and 14.4mm in width, it is 9.7mm in thickness. The central hole is 7.3mm by 6.3mm in size.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).
