Description: | Drop handle terminal from a vessel, perhaps a chafing dish; other vessel types are also possible. It is oval in cross-section, tapering from 10 x 13 m to 8 x 12 mm, and 18.5 mm long. It is decorated to resemble an animal head, with two wide slanting grooves for ears, two vertical grooves for eyes, a V-shaped groove on either side for the open mouth, and a moulded groove running around the top to form an up-turned nose. A hole runs right through along the long axis from the back of the head to the open mouth, and this would have held the end of a rectilinear handle. An example from a shallow sheet-metal bowl (not a chafing dish) is published in Egan 1998, fig. 143. | 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: | 1300
