A small fragment of cast copper alloy, possibly part of a chafing dish handle. Chafing dishes were domestic utensils made of metal or earthenware for holding burning charcoal or other combustible material.

This fragment is formed from a strip of copper alloy, flattened on either side and filed. The strip is straight, with a dog-leg kink in it. The original surface has worn away in places. This object probably dates to the late medieval to post-medieval period, circa 14…
