Incomplete copper alloy inverted T-shaped loop handle from a medieval to post-medieval chafing dish (or perhaps cupboard door, Margeson 1993, 78-9). The top and one side are missing.

NMS-91CC97). There are profuse file marks on most of the surface. Extant width and height 45.3 and 34.7mm. Thickness 5.5mm. 15th - 16th century.
