Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy vessel.The piece represents a looped handle attachment from the rim of the vessel. The loop itself extends vertically upwards from an inward-projecting, right-angled rim, is of inverted drop-shape and tapers towards the bottom. Beneath the flat rim, the piece angles steeply downwards, forming a damaged attachment plate, the scalloped bottom side of which probably represents the remains of at least three rivet holes.Dimensions: 73.3mm wide, 85.3mm high, 14.5mm thick (loop). Weight: 186.38g.No exact parallel could be found for this piece. The technique of attaching a handle to a vessel by means of an escutcheon is typical of Roman period vessels (cf. BH-5EC1F6); however, the surface of this piece, with its unidentified black coating, is more indicative of a Medieval to post-Medieval date.
