Description: | Handle from a drawer, door or similar, made in at least three copper-alloy parts all threaded onto a square-section iron shank. This shank probably originally projected from one end and fixed the handle onto the drawer or cupboard, but this is now missing. The element nearest the wood consists of two cones set apex-to-apex and with a collar at the junction. The second element is larger (33 mm diameter) and 9 mm thick; the edge is divided into 17 round-ended lobes with grooves between on both faces. This element is set slightly off-centre from the other two. The third element is a flattened hemisphere with the edge divided into 15 lobes. The central element is sometimes found separately, when it can be hard to identify (see, for example, Treasure Hunting, March 2001, p. 6; and The Searcher, December 2000, p. 23). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1650
