Description: | A possible cast copper alloy vessel drop handle fragment; the fragment is a 'L' shape in plan with both terminals being broken, but not too recent. Protruding from the exterior corner is an integral knop in the shape of an acorn. The outer face of the corner is decorated with a pair of obliquely angled linear grooves. In section the object is oval. The surface of the fragment has a matte dark grey surface. It measures 25.9mm long, 15.02mm wide, 5.71mm thick and weighs 4.4g.This is possibly a fragment of a vessel handle fragment. Egan (Egan, G. 1998 The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London) illustrates a similar handle, No. 487, with similar decoration, but this example is larger than the recorded example and probably dates to the 14th to 16th centuries. It may be from a copper alloy vessel or casket.
