Description: | A complete cast copper alloy thumb rest from a drinking vessel or tankard, dating from about 1650 to 1750. The thumb rest has a rectangular sectioned longitudinal piece, and a cross piece formed of two oval knops, which is where the thumb would have rested to open the lid. One end of the longitudinal piece is sub-rectangular in section, with a circular hole through it. This hole would have enabled the thumb rest to be attached to the handle with an axis pin, allowing it to pivot.
