A complete copper-alloy right-angled drop handle from a vessel, of Medieval dating circa AD 1270 -1350. The handle is complete consisting of a hexagonal shaped shaft in cross section. Extending from either end of the shaft at a right angle are two vertical arms which terminate with animal, possible dog headed terminals. The arms are also hexagonal in cross section. There are acorn knops placed at the top corners of the shaft where they join the arms. At the centre of the horizontal shaft is a rounded swelling. This swelling is defined by a circumferential collar at each side. …

Object type: PALSTAVE
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy lower blade fragment from a palstave dating to the Middle Bronze Age, circa 1500-1300 BC. The shape of the fragment is sub-triangular in plan and triangular in profile; the cross section at the break is sub-rectangular in form. The blade is broken below the stop ridge, due to this it is uncertain whether this fragment is from a looped - or unlooped palstave variant. The sides of the palstave gently taper from the break to the blade where the tips of the blade protrude markedly. The cutting edge is crescentic and relatively well defined, however it is very worn and t…
