Description: | Lead Tobacco Jar Lid Handle. Cast handle in the form of a negro head with short hair and a broad nose; the hair may be additionally textured with incise lines, possibly to afford a better grip. The neck rises from a double collar above a flat base, the flanged base possibly formerly engaging with a hollow in the centre of the lid itself. A darker metal is spread across the base of the handle, along with patches of scarlet colorant. It is uncertain whether either or both these peculiarities are original. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1800.Height: 29.5mm, Diameter (at base): 20.3mm, Weight: 58.12gms.
