Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy vessel handle of probable Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is rectangular in form and section, terminating at one end in old breaks. The surviving fragment has a prominent triangular mid rib running the length of one face, the complete(?) end having a flaring transverse terminal set at right angles to the plane of the handle to produce an L-shaped profile for the entire object. All surfaces have post-depositional wear and corrosion, with extensive thick, black sooting indicative of exposure to high temperatures and probable usage in cooking. It measures 52.17mm in length, 58.60mm in width, 16.82mm in thickness and 156.46g in weight. This fragment is probably from a handle of a cast copper-alloy cooking vessel of Medieval to Post-Medieval date (c.f. Egan, 1998: no. 463), c.14th-16th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
