Incomplete fragment of a cast copper alloy trivet stand for a chafing dish of late medieval or post medieval date (1400-1700). The fragment comprises a small amount of the frame and an irregular sub-triangular shaped foot. The fragment is undecorated and irregular in both profile and plan. The foot is broadly sub-rectangular with taper edges and a wedge shaped slightly pointed foot. It is likely that there were a number (probably 3-4 of these feet evenly spaced around the edge of the trivet providing both stability and height for the chafing dish. The angle of the leg, when the foot is…

Incomplete fragment of a cast copper alloy suspension loop possibly from a purse bar or frame of late Medieval or early Post-Medieval date (1450 - 1550). The fragment is oval in plan with tapering sides and rounded a small cylindrical knop at the base. The loop is also sub-rectangular (D shaped) in cross section. The cast hole is located centrally and is oval in shape. It measures 21.1mm in length and 11.3mm width. The knop, at the base of the loop, projects 5.4mm and has a diameter of 6.2mm. The break is relatively old and is covered by the same eroded patina as the rest of the artefa…

Fragment from a cast copper alloy chafing dish 'drop' handle of late Medieval or Post Medieval date (1400-1650). The fragment represents approximately half of the entire handle being irregular in plan and an irregular hexagonal shape in cross section. The upper section of the handle has a different cross section being broadly oval; this is because it would have fitted through an attachment lug which would in turn fit to the chafing dish. This lug would allow the handle to swing and pivot. The frame of the handle is angular in shape with several pointed (star like) projections. …

A fragment of cast copper alloy vessel of probable later medieval to post medieval date (1350 - 1650). The fragment is much worn and irregular in shape. The upper edge is thickened with a stepped and in-turned rim. The vessel fragment is a mid green colour with an abraded patina a black carbonised (soot-like) deposit is present on the outer edge. It is therefore possible that this is a chafing dish fragment. The fragment measures 24.8mm length, 32.0mm width, is 4.7mm thick at rim, 2.6mm thick at body and weighs 9.03 grams.

Incomplete fragment of a cast copper alloy suspension loop possibly from a purse bar or frame of later Medieval or early Post-Medieval date (1450 - 1600). The fragment is oval in plan with tapering sides and from the lower edge a small cylindrical collar extends with a broken rounded knop beneath. The break is relatively old and is covered by the same eroded patina as the rest of the artefact. There is no evidence of incised or applied decoration on the loop. It is a mid - dark green colour with a well preserved polished but slightly abraded patina. Similar suspension loops for purse f…

Cast copper alloy strap fitting of probable post-medieval date (1500-1700). The strap fitting / belt mount is circular in plan and domed in profile. The front face is convex whilst the reverse is concave. The edges of the fitting are bevelled and mostly lost through abrasion. The front face has been decorated with a small nipple / nub at the centre of the raised boss, this is encircled by a single annulet / ring. The reverse face of the fitting is concave with two cast sub-rectangular projections (hooks) positioned on either edge of the fitting. These hooks would pass through the strap…
