Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy handle from a Roman skillet or patera. The handle is trapezoidal in plan with concave edges which expand toward both ends and rectangular in cross section. The end which would have attached to the vessel is wider at 27.4mm than the other broken terminal which is 24.6mm wide.The top surface of the handle is decorated with a molded male figure standing right with one hand on a hip. The figure is unclear but appears to have cloven feet, an erect penis and possible horns. The reverse of the handle is undecorated.A patera with a similar shape of handle, but without the decoration, was found at South Shields (Allason-Jones and Miket 1984: 146, no. 3.358) and was dated to the mid 1st century AD.The handle is 51.7mm long, 27.4mm wide, 2.6mm thick and weighs 51.68 grams.
