Description: | A cast copper alloy vessel lid handle from a tobacco jar dating from the late Medieval to early Post Medieval period, circa AD1600-1850. In plan, the top of the lid had a flower head design with a central knop surrounded by 8 petals. The central knop has been damaged. The petals are defined by a shallow groove and the end of each petal is slightly rounded.At the centre of the reverse is an integrally cast shank. The shank is sub circular in section with the sides flaring out at the terminus. There is a round knop on the end of the shank. The shank is short and has been bent to one side. The surfaces are worn but patches of black, shiny lacquer survives on some of the flower petals. The rest of the object has an uneven grey / green patina.
