Description: | A corroded and incomplete probable lead-alloy vessel handle of Medieval to Post Medieval date. This artefact is broken at both ends and exhibits a substantial curvature through the body. Towards the upper end of the upper surface of the handle are a series of raised horizontal ridges separated by a large raised cylindrical ridge (17.1 in thickness); this might possibly be related to an attachment for a lidded vessel as Egan (1998: 188 fig. 151) . From the lower five ridges the body tapers to a width of 11.3mm, although there are small losses at the exterior width of the tapered end. On the underside of the handle is a central seam line from casting. This object has an overall mid-grey colour, though a darker interior shade is visible at the more recent break to the tapered end.
