Description: | The broken terminal end of a Roman copper alloy patera (skillet) handle. The sides of the handle taper towards the break with a double grooved linear border on either side. The terminal of the handle is circular with a beaded border running around its circumference, the centre is pierced for suspension and also has a beaded rim around its edge. A good parallel for this handle is provided by a complete vessel from Gloucestershire recorded on the database as GLO-048BB1.
The handle would originally have been cast as one with the vessel. However, there is evidence for re-use. the broken end of the handle was filed down on the underside and reattatched, presumably to the original vessel, through three iron rivets. The holes for these rivets can be seen at the broken end of the handle with corroded remains in two of them. The resulting handle would have been much shorther than the original.
The handle measures 61.74mm long, 50.56mm wide and up to 3.26mm thick and weighs 44.68g | 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
