Description: | Possibly part of a chafing dish handle (to keep dishes warm with hot coals).
In shape the incomplete object curves at one end. One 'arm' is 2.7mm thick and 19.4mm wide, the other 5.7mm thick and 21.1mm wide. The thicker arm has double rib moulding flanking one edge (this is missing on the other edge, though it is clear it has been there). The thicked arm is also slightly curving in profile.
The internal gap between the arms is 4.6mm.
Measures 16.5mm in length and weighs 20.11g.
The object has a medieval/ early post medieval feel to it, and Nick Griffiths suggests a 15th/ 16th century date. | 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: | 1401
