A possible post medieval copper-alloy tobacco jar lid handle possibly dating to the 17th to 18th century. A human head possibly representing a male of African ethnicity appears on the tip of the handle but the surface is slightly worn. Several handles from tobacco holders decorated with African heads have been recorded on the PAS database, e.g. WMID-BA849D and SWYOR-F721A9, although this object is quite different in overall shape. It has also been suggested that this object may be a pipe tamper. Green-brown patina. Dimensions: 39.7mm diameter; 19.2mm width at top; 9mm thick at base; w…

Copper alloy probable tobacco jar lid handle. Cast ovoid or bud-shaped knop on a very short stalk rising from a biconvex base whose upper surface bears subdivisions perhaps intended to resemble leaves. A prominent mould line runs from knop to base. A collar below the base retains white powdery material, and would probably have fitted into a lid made of another different material; this might represent decay of a leaden insert to add weight to the lid to ensure the contents of the jar would be kept sealed and fresh. The knop handle is now at an eccentric angle. Abraded. Suggested date: …

The flat top of the handle shaft has a central flattened pimple and surrounding ridge that together, including the outer edge, form three concentric circles. The total height of what remains of the handle is 12.83mm. The handle may originally have been soldered into place although the presenc…
