Description: | A complete Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper-alloy vessel drop-handle and its associated lug (c. 1450-c. 1550).The frame forms an inverted open 'T'-shape when viewed in plan and is hexagonal in cross-section. It has numerous file marks round the edges. The handle is attached to a cast copper-alloy suspension lug which is perforated to accommodate the handle. The attachment lug is oval in shape with a collar at one end and a short rivet beyond. Grooves at either side emphasise the collar. The lug does not appear to have been filed in the same manner as the handle. Both elements are generally corroded and pitted and have traces of a dark greenish patina.Measurements:Handle:- Height: 46.7mm width: 60mm; thickness: 5.3mm.Lug:- Height: 17.5mm; width: 15.2mm; thickness: 5.2mm.Overall height: 54mm. Weight: 47g.This handle may have been attached to a chafing dish, a vessel filled with charcoal on which other vessels could be placed to keep food warm. These were common to the Medieval and Post Medieval periods. A similar vessel can be seen on the PAS data-base IOW-600408.
