Wmid-b1a26a - Vessel drop handle

An incomplete cast copper-alloy drop handle from a vessel of Medieval date circa AD 1270 -1600. The incomplete handle consists of a zoomorphic terminal end, probably representing a dog's head. The terminal has a rivet through the centre of the mouth, with other features (eyebrows and hair ridges) defined by cast in relief with incised lines finishing the decoration.
