Description: | A fragment of a possible copper alloy chafing dish handle dating from the late medieval period. The fragment is part of an openwork heart shaped handle which has a rough hexagonal section and rough file marks on the bevelled edges. It is similar in construction to WAW-92BA45, but is unusually narrow and short, generally smaller than other examples on the PAS database. It is also possible that it is a belt hanger, similar to an arched pendant mount (see for example, Egan and Pritchard page 223). It has a dark green grey patina, suggesting a high lead content. It is 29.4mm long, 25.4mm wide and 6.4mm thick. It weighs 10.23gm.
