Description: | Post medieval cast copper alloy handle, probably from a tankard. The item is oval in cross section and follows a shallow double (S) curve. It tapers toward one end which finishes in a rounded point which appears complete; it is 3.5mm wide by 3.7mm thick at this end. The other end is curved round at 90 degrees to the main piece and the top is concave creating a C shaped section. This wider end is broken from an old break and is 8.9mm wide by 5.0mm thick. It is 49.4mm long and weighs 10.7 grams.This appears to be part of a much larger object and is probably a handle from a tankard or possibly candle holder. The style and metal form suggests a post medieval date.
