Copper alloy fragment, probably from a Medieval chafing dish. It is a W shape in plan with both ends being broken, they would probably have extended upwards to form a loop, this would then have attached onto the dish. The fragment is square in cross-section with slightly bevelled edges and file marks can be seen on the surface. Chafing dishes were domestic utensils made of metal or earthenware for holding burning charcoal or other combustible material. This was then used to cook food or keep it hot at the table.
