Description: | Cast cu-alloy handle of bowl probably dating from the Late Post-Medieval or Early Modern period. The handle is bent and twisted and only one of the terminals is still intact with the rivet in place (and part of the thin sheet metal vessel it was attached to). The handle was attached with a thick rivet, but the vessel itself was probably not made from cast or very thick metal as the sheet trapped between handle and rivet is quite thin (less than a millimetre). The handle it quite heavy and was probably made from leaded bronze. It was undecorated except for some moulded decoration around the end with the rivet. Stylistically it is difficult to pin a date on this artefact since the handle is quite plain and bowl/vessels with similar handles are still in use today. However, patination and size and style of rivet and washer suggest that it came from a vessel that was more than 100 or 200 years old.
