Description: | A cast copper-alloy possible handle from a house or furniture of uncertain date, but probably post-Medieval.The object has a cylindrical body with two differently sized discoidal ends.. The smaller disc has a diameter of 29.37mm and the larger disc has a diameter of 34.6mm. The body is slightly facetted, probably due to the manner in which the mould was made rather than for decoration.There is a central perforation running through the length of the object, with a diameter of 13.34mm.The exterior face of the larger disc has a slight rim and is very slightly concave.The exterior face of the smaller disc has a rim around the central perforation.The object could be the handle to a cabinet or drawer or another piece of furniture, or possibly the collar for a doorknob. It may also be a candle stick base.It could also have been related to a transport/cart/wagon function.The object is solid and well made, and is more than 200 years old and probably older.
