Description: | A complete cast copper alloy object, possibly a handle of Post Medieval date. The main part of the object is made up of two part-spheres joined with a circumferential raised rib at the junction. On one side of this there is an extended spherical knop. On the other there is a cylindrical concave shaped collar which steps down to a lozengiform tang. The tang curves to one side in a regular way suggesting that the curvature is not the result of damage. The most likely suggestion is that this object is a furniture handle. The dimensions are as follows - Overall length: 74.54 mm; large knob diam. 27.84; top finial knob diam. 9.83; collar ring diam. 14.60; max. shaft thickness 2.86; min. shaft thickness 2.86. Weight: 72.78 g.
