Object type certainty: Certain

A resized image of Iron Age tankard handle

A cast copper-alloy tankard handle of late Iron Age or early Roman date (1st century), a Corcoran class II.

The handle is incomplete, lacking both ends and only the body surviving. The primary element is a curved rib, triangular in section that forms the main body of the handle. At the peak and running along 50% of the remaining handle is a flange to either side of the rib, such that it appears that the rib is running through the length of a pointed oval. The rib is raised on the upper surface, but the underside of the flanges are flush with the rib.

Class: Handle
Sub class: Corcoran class II
