Description: | The cast copper alloy handle from a skillet or posnet of probable post medieval date. The handle measures 59.3mm by 20.5mm by 18.5mm and weighs 62.14g. The main part of the handle has a flat upper surface and a convex base, forming a D-shaped cross section. It narrows slightly towards the zoomorphic terminal. The flat part of the handle is decorated with incised lines in the form of a two by four grid, with diagonal petals in each square. A similar handle can be seen in 'Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from Exeter 1971-80.' (1984, p. 345, fig. 192, no. 159). The Exeter example is not closely dated but is pre-18th century. | 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: | 1500
