Cast cu-alloy sheet of semi-circular form with few markings looking like a bar code on the obverse. There are two smaller 'spikes', one to the right and one to the left of the semi circle's main curve. The artefact was very probably part of something larger, i.e a cast cu-alloy sheet or box or a larger box-fitting. However, without any other indicators (e.g. rivet holes or decoration) it is difficult to ascertain what it came from or what it was part of.

The underside of the handle is flat and relatively smooth while the obverse shows deep grooves and lines from where the glass was made to form the handle.

Sometimes these jar were used as cremation urns (e.g. as seen in Penrith Museum).
