Description: | An incomplete cast copper-allou suspension loop, probably for the handle of a later Medieval to Post-Medieval cooking vessel. It is circular in form, rectangular in section, with a central sub-circular aperture. At the base of the loop is a moulded disc-shaped collar beneath which extends an incomplete cylindrical attachment lug or shaft that terminates in old breaks. The outer edge of the loop is decorated with two pairs of incised double grooves at each edge, giving the impression of there being a large central ridge flanked by two pairs of smaller ridges. The entire object has a dark green patina that is slightly blackened and has been exposed to high temperatures, perhaps as a result of use for cooking. It measures 29.84mm in length, 24.53mm in width/external diameter, 11.99mm in thickness, and weighs 28.09g.This is probably the suspension lug from a later Medieval to Post-Medieval cooking vessel to enable the handle to be held in place. If this is indeed the case it is likely to date to between the 15th and 17th centuries AD.
