Description: | A corroded cast copper-alloy fragmentary artefact of probable post-medieval date: probably a handle from a vessel or fixture. The fragment has a broadly circular cross-section. The inner edge is more-or-less straight, while the outer edge narrows gradually from its widest point as it travels along (curves). The curvature becomes more pronounced towards the smaller of the broken ends; the inner edge also begins to curve too at this point. The outer edge is decorated with moulded cabling. The sides and the inner edge are faceted. The decoration may have had a practical purpose in terms of gripping the object.
