Description: | Fragment of a handle from a prestigious cast cu-alloy (bronze or brass) vessel dating to the 17th century AD.The central square collar is 16mm wide and 15mm thick. The frame is rectangular in section, 11mm wide and 7mm thick.The complete vessel would have been shaped like a small bucket with two loops on either side of the rim which would have received an angled part of the handle (see image attached to LANCUM-F51517). Surviving complete examples of such vessels from Germany and the Netherlands suggest that they were typically approximately 160mm high and 140mm in dimater. Vessels of this type would have been part of the religious furniture of a major church or monastery in the area.Similar has ben recorded by Dot Boughton at LANCUM-F51517, after an identification by Geoff Egan.Reference: Falke, O. and Meyer, E. 1988.
