Description: | Two fragments possibly from a cast copper-alloy chaffing dish handle. Chafing dishes were domestic utensils made of metal or earthenware for holding burning charcoal or other combustible material. This was then used to cook food or keep it hot at the table (Lewis, 1973). These dishes dates from circa 1450 - 1550. The vessels themselves were cast in one piece and finished on a lathe. Each vessel would have had two handles. The handle has a pitted surface, it has a roughly circular section, with chamfered edges and triangular corners. This object dates to the late medieval to post medieval period, circa 1450 - 1550.
