Description: | A cast copper-alloy drop handle lug which probably formed part of a chafing dish of late medieval or post-medieval date. Similar handle lugs were also used for small chests and casks. The lug measures 20.7mm by 14.8mm by 8.7mm, and weighs 12.7g. It is in the form of a flat oval cylinder, which has a central circular perforation (diameter 7.5mm) and a flared end from which projects the remains of an integral rivet. The lug would have been riveted to the main body of the dish and its perforation would have contained a drop handle. This handle lug probably comes from a vessel of Lewis's type B, C or D, and therefore probably dates from c. 1450-1650 (Lewis 1973).
