Description: | A cast copper alloy Post-Medieval fragment, possibly part of a handle from a vessel lid. The object is incomplete due to old breaks. It consists of a curving 'C' shape of solid metal which is faceted and comes to a point at one terminal. The object becomes rectangular in section at the other, incomplete terminal, which has indications of a perforation or rivet hole visible within the broken edge. There are file marks on both sides of this flattened part. Holding the handle with both terminals pointing downwards, there is a moulding on the top which protrudes and is an elongated tear-drop shape. This may be purely decorative, or could function as a thumb-rest. The object measures 36mm x 34.15mm. The flattened rectangular part is 9.34mm in width and 4.6mm in thickness. It weighs 20.42g.
