Probably a post-medieval or early modern drop handle dating from the 17th-19th century. The artefact is worn but in good condition with a smooth surface which is however flaky in patches. It appears complete and there are no breaks anywhere. It is roughly heart-shaped with a straight (rather than a pointy) bottom. The only areas that show signs of wear at the inside edges of the heart suggesting the short straight side was attached to a loop which in turn was attached to the drawer.

Possibly a Post Medieval to Modern cast copper alloy door handle element. It is circular in plan with flat face & a domed face decorated with a circular outer border. It looks like the plate that attaches to the door and through which a square sectioned shank would pass. This in turn would open the door latch. Probably dating to between c1700 and c1900 AD. There is a groove that runs at varying depth, around the circumference of the edge. The perforation has been countersunk on the flat side. The diameter is 44mm, perforation diameter 17mm, the thickness 8.5mm, and the weight 41.16g.

A complete Post Medieval lead-alloy figurative scene, dating to the period c.AD 1700-1800. The scene depicts a hunting scene with huntsman and hound and probably relates to a furniture mount.
