An incomplete copper-alloy medieval vessel  lug. The zoomorphic terminal has with two wide slanting grooves for ears, two vertical grooves for eyes, a V-shaped groove on either side for the open mouth, and a moulded groove running around the top to form an up-turned nose. A hole runs right through along the long axis from the back of the head to the open mouth, and this contains part of a rectilinear handle. An example from a shallow sheet-metal bowl (not a chafing dish) is published in Egan 1998, fig. 143. The surface of the metal is slightly corroded and the breaks are…

A complete copper-alloy chafing dish handle of Post Medieval dating to circa AD 1550-1700. The handle can be described in two parts: the loop handle and the attachment. The loop handle is heart-shaped in plan and rectangular-sectioned. It has a straight base functioning as a bar. It has bevelled edges. Both faces of the handle are covered in broadly oblique file marks. Attached to the base is the attachment lug. It is rectangular sectioned with an apex loop, through which the bar runs. The base of the lug is flat with a projecting circular fitting which would have attached to…

An incomplete, copper alloy object, possibly a fragment of a chafing dish of late Medieval to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1400-1600). At the bottom of the object is a short remnant of a shank with a sub-oval to sub-rectangular cross section (9.35mm long, 8.51mm wide). This is decorated with two circumferential grooves, one near the bottom of the shank and the other near the top. At the top of the shank, the object branches into two, curved upward projections, forming a rough U-shape. Both of the projections have rectangular cross sections, though the right-hand projections (4.…

Medieval to early post-medieval T-shaped loop handle and attachment lug from a chafing dish. The handle has four long slightly outwardly-curving sides and four short straighter sides. The short sides form the lateral edges of the stem and the underside of the crossbar of the T-shape and this junction is made at a slightly obtuse angle. The four longer sides have perpendicular and parallel relationships to each other (like the sides of a rectangle). The internal and external edges are bevelled on both faces (hexagonal in cross-section) with the exception of the side opposite the l…

Complete cast copper-alloy attachment lug from a medieval or post medieval chafing dish or furniture. It is sub-oval, flat on two faces and at one end, with a large sub-circular hole in the middle and a short circular-cross-sectioned integral rivet projecting from the flat end. After a convex tapering in width beginning at the rounded end, it widens very slightly and over a very short distance at the flat end. There are some shallow transverse and oblique grooves on both faces, which appear to be file marks. There is also a lattice pattern in a small area of one face, near the rounded…

Complete attachment lug with a fragment of a drop-handle in-situ, both of copper-alloy, from a medieval or post medieval chafing dish or furniture. The lug is cuboid with very slightly convex faces. It is pierced by a large oval transverse hole which currently holds the fragment of handle firmly. At one end there is a short circular-cross-sectioned integral rivet. The handle fragment is straight, oval in cross-section for the most part and terminates in a worn break at each end. For a third of its extant length at one end it is flattened on one side. Cf.
