Title: LUG (HANDLE) [Go to resource]
Description: Medieval copper alloy handle, 44mm wide and 51mm long. The object consists of a shaped bar which begins as a rectangle 30mm wide and 21mm deep. One side curves outwards at a right angle for 20mm before turning 90o and continuing for 20mm at which point the object has snapped. The whole bar has chamferred edges and is 6mm wide. The central bar is circular in section and holds a 'pear' shaped fitting, 24mm long and 15mm wide. The object is 9mm deep and bulges outwards towards its centre. It is attached to the bar by a central hole 7mm wide. At its narrower end it has a raised circular protrusion which must have attached the object to something else. The object is most likely a handle from a large serving dish.
