Description: | Mid Medieval to early Post Medieval cast copper alloy skillet handle. The handle fragment is sub-rectangular in plan, tapering slightly from the broken attachment end to the handle terminal, with a narrow ovate section and is curved in profile. The upper surface is decorated with four ring and dot motifs - two of which are complete. This form of decoration appears to be quite widespread on medieval skillets; in fact all the examples listed below feature it. The lower surface of the handle is undecorated and smooth. It has been well made and the level, and pattern, of wear indicates it was in use for a very long time. Dates to between c1250 and c1600 AD.The length is 56mm, width 21mm, thickness 11mm, and the weight 42.76g.Similar skillet handles on the database include HESH-80EB11, LVPL1651, YORYM-210804, HAMP-AA86C1, HESH-A63178, and SF-220664 (nearly complete).
