Description: | A complete copper alloy late medieval or early post-medieval chafing dish or furniture drop handle attachment lug. It has one rounded end and one flattened end; a circular protrusion extending from the latter that would allow attachment to a vessel or piece of furniture. Both faces are covered with file marks and there is a circular hole through the middle where the handle would have passed. It survives in good condition with a shiny green patina.Similar handles with this type of lug are illustrated by Margeson (1993, 80, no's:489, 490&491) from excavations in Norwich, who notes that similar handles appear to have been used both as chafing dish and furniture handles during the late Medieval to early Post-Medieval period (ibid. 78).Length: 21.46mm, width: 12.46mm, thickness: 7.62mm, weight: 10.37g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
