A copper-alloy escutcheon (handle attachment) from the rim of a Late Iron Age vessel. The escutcheon consists of a shaped front plate the centre of which is arched in profile. From the back extends a Y-shaped fittin, the arms and stem of which are roughly circular in cross section. The stem of the Y is now worn and broken but would have gone through the vessel wall just below the rim and acted as a rivet to attach the escutcheon. Between the arms of the Y and the front plate is a worn circular hole for the ring shaped handle. The front plate would have concealed the attachments w…
