Description: | Cast copper-alloy chafing dish or furniture drop-handle and lug. Mass: 47.6g, length of drop handle: 47.6mm, length of lug: 14.4mm, width of drop handle: 62.8mm, width of lug: 22.8mm, thickness of handle: 5.4mm, thickness of lug: 7.7mm. Late medieval or early post-medieval (probably 15th-16th century). The lug has an integral circular sectioned rivet and a circular perforation which holds the top bar of the drop handle. The drop handle flares out towards the broadly perpendicular sided lower portion. There are angled finishing marks on the hexagonal-sectioned drop handle and the lug. In: "Norwich Households: Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations, 1971-78", Margeson (1983) notes that similar forms of handle are found on both chafing dishes and furniture.
