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. …
