Title
Post-medieval furniture fitting (drawer handle)
Description
English: A broken and incomplete post-medieval furniture fitting: a cast and forged copper-alloy drop handle from a drawer pull. The object is sub-trapezoidal in shape, with a constriction below an elaborate sub-square suspension loop, now broken through at the top. The main field below the constriction features a raised triangular moulding with diagonal incisions; three along each side are visible. The piece has been broken transversely as a result of old damage. The constriction is formed of a semicircular cut out to each side. The loop is recessed with a rectangular perforation.

An example of such a later Stuart drawer-pull can be found illustrated in Read (1995, 162; ref. 1086). For a complete example from Norfolk see this database: NMS-567517. This piece has corroded to a variable green colour.
