Description: | A copper alloy handle attachment lug from a metal vessel, probably a chafing dish dating from the late medieval or early Post Medieval period. The lug is oval in plan with a projecting integral rivet at one end, and rectangular in section. It has a rounded terminal with a hole through it. The vessel handle would have fitted through the hole. Articulation has caused the hole to wear all the way through the lug, or alternatively, the loop was never completely closed. The base of the lug would have rested on the outside of the vessel, and the integral rivet would have passed through the vessel wall and been fixed. The rivet is circular in section though very corroded, and is 7.4mm in diameter. A similar object but complete with the handle is SWYOR-4AA423.
