Description: | Late Medieval to Post Medieval ceramic vessel handle sherd, probably a strap handle from a jug. It is lightly abraded. The sandy fabric can be scratched with a thumbnail, is variably fired (light grey where reduced & orange buff where oxidised), and has the remnants of a covering glaze. The glaze varies in colour from yellow green to olive green. There is an area of glaze on the top of the handle appears to contain dark brown staining, probably from manganese in the glaze. The fabric has numerous well sorted inclusions ranging from sub angular to rounded and mostly less than 1mm in size. These grains are largely a mix of quartz, quartzite, & mica, with some occasional larger (up to 1.5mm), very dark brown, angular inclusions of iron rich material. There are also occasional sub rectangular voids up to 2mm in length and two adjacent circular voids (both containing dark brown remnant material) that are 7.5mm in diameter. Original external diameter of vessel at sprig approximately 75mm. Probably dates from c1300 to c1700 AD.The length is 48.1mm, width 29mm, thickness 24mm, and the weight 23.25g.
