Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy drop handle and associated suspension lug from a chaffing dish, of Medieval to Post Medieval date. The entire handle was an open T-frame handle; however only the base of the T, and lug, survives. The handle is round in section and forms the base of the original T shape. Both extant arms have old breaks; one ends just past the junction of the vertical base and the missing horizontal portion of the T, whilst the other breaks at the end of the horizontal. The lug, located at the base of the T, is sub oval in shape, and sub rectangular in section. It has a central perforation to accomadate for the handle. At the base, the lug tapers to a rectangular collar, from which protrudes a circular integral rivet. Both the handle and lug are corroded with a light green patina and small dark patches of uncorroded metal. The handle measures 51.91 mm L x 24.82 mm W x 5.80 mm TH; the lug measures 22.13 mm L x 14.73 mm W x 8.93 TH. In total it weighs 23.31 g. A similar handle can be seen on the database IOW-600408
