Description: | A cast copper-alloy patera handle fragment dating from the Roman period, i.e. c. AD43-410. The handle fragment is very worn, especially around the edges. The handle is sub-rectangular in plan, with concave edges which expand out towards a sub-oval terminal and a 'tanged' end. The tang is located towards the end which would have been attached to the body of the vessel. There is a worn break across this end. The handle fragment is 103mm long, 40mm wide across the centre and it is 2mm thick along its whole length. The handle weighs 30.19g. It has a mid-green patina. The surface is pitted due to corrosion. This handle finds a very good parallel in ESS-6BE383 which is a larger fragment, but almost identical to this one.
