Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy handle from a Roman skillet or patera (saucepan). The fragment comes from the side of the handle where it would have joined the body of the vessel. The fragment is fishtail-shaped and has an angled edge. It is flat and undecorated on the underside but has a simple moulded decoration on the upper side. The moulded decoration consists of a band and groove which run parallel to the outside edge. There is what looks like a circular perforation or rivet hole (with fused rivet still in place) in the centre of the fragment,A patera with a similar form of handle was found at South Shields (Allason-Jones and Miket 1984: 146, no. 3.358) and was dated to the mid 1st century AD.
