Description: | A cast copper alloy possible vessel handle. In plan it is a triangular with the long straight edge being broken. This is not a recent break. The other surfaces are convex in profile. This surface has a mottled dark green and brown colour. The surface of the object has traces of a black deposit, which could be carbon/soot from being sat over a fire. The possible handle measures 29.62mm long, and 10.39mm wide. It weighs 9.7g. The carbon deposit and the general shape of the object suggests it is related to cooking vessels. Egan (Egan G. 1998 The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London, London, The Stationary Office) illustrates a rectangular shaped handle (No. 487) which is similar. If the object is a cooking vessel handle, these type of vessels, according to Geake, date from the mid 13th to 16th centuries.
