Two fragments of a cast copper alloy tankard handle dating from the Iron Age to the Roman period (300BC-200AD). The object is a sub-oval piece of sheet copper alloy. Each end curves backwards and then forward again terminating in a break. The sides of the object are slightly rounded. The upper surface is decorated with punched dot decoration in the shape of a lentoid. Traces of gilding can be seen on the upper surface. The reverse of the object is undecorated. The object has a dark green patina which is pitted due to corrosion.
