Description: | A cast copper-alloy lug, probably from the handle of a chafing dish of Late Medieval or Early Post-Medieval date (AD 1400 - AD 1600). The lug is sub-oval in plan and rectangular in cross-section with rounded corners. It has a triangular collar at the attachment end, beyond which is the stub of a circular rivet which would have attached to the vessel wall. The loop has a slightly off-centre hole through it to hold the handle which has the appearance of having worn through the side of the lug. The gap in the side of the lug, however, has neat, unbroken edges and is flattened on the outside surface suggesting that this was delibrate and the two ends were hammered closed around the handle of the vessel.
