Description: | A bronze (copper-alloy) vessel handle from a large cooking or storage vessel, dating from the late medieval to post-medieval period (circa 1350 - 1850). The fragment may have been part of a cauldron or similar large vessel. The handle is a flat type with a 'foot' like terminal. The handle is long and tapers from the end which would have been attached to the vessel, down to the foot like terminal. This terminal hangs down at approximately a 140° angle from the rest of the flat handle. The surviving handle fragment has been decorated with three ring and dot motifs, each formed from two rings, with a centre dot. Traces of a black lacquer can be seen in the incised design. The reverse of the handle is undecorated and has a D-shaped section. The break, where the handle broke from the vessel, is very worn and corroded. The handle is a mid greyish-green colour and the surface is slightly pitted.
