DescriptionGilded handle once belonging to a purse or handbag. Ornately decorated with relief flowers, fruits, and cornucopiae. Two think golden rings at top corners. Label and previous note in Rediscovery indicates that the handle once went with an associated chain. Inventory 2017 did find an unattached, unnumbered bronze chain in Box CS-017, though not near this handle. This chain still resides in the box.
