It has faceted edges and extensive tool marks on all surfaces. At the attachment end is a separate cast copper-alloy attachment loop that is rectangular in section, oval shaped in plan with a central circular perforation and a small cylindrical stud that enabled attachment to the vessel. The attachment loop also has extensive tool marks on all surfaces. The entire object measures 64.23mm in length, 59.54mm in width, 5.36mm in thickness (8.55mm in thickness at attachment loop), and weighs 51.77g.This is a handle from a chafing dish similar to examples from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: nos. 489-491; see also SF-D4B756 for a near identical parallel). It is of c.15th-16th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
