Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy flat handle from a patera, dating to the 1st century AD (length: 54mm; width: 35mm; thickness: 2mm; weight: 17.64g). The handle is broken at both ends, with a clean break at the narrow neck of the handle (which would have continued to the body of the patera if complete). At the opposing end, only a small part of the circular terminal remains with part of the circular suspension hole also remaining, which is edged by a thick, raised collar. The neck of the handle has a marginal groove with a raised border to either side, as well as another curved raised border marking the outline where the neck of the handle finishes and the circular terminal begins. There is no other decoration on the front of the handle, and no decoration on the back. The artefact is in a worn but fair condition with a dark green patina. A similar example is illustrated in Allason-Jones, L, and Miket, R, 1984, ?The Catalogue of small finds from South Shields Roman Fort?, pages 146, 149 & 150, ref no 358. This complete patera is dated to the mid 1st century AD. | 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: | 43
