Notes on support and decorations | Copper alloy vessel handle with snake’s head terminals. Midway along the handle at the junction between the snakes is a transverse row of five raised knobs. The lower part of the snakes’ bodies are lined to indicate the scales. The inner surface, towards the heads, is flattened to fit closely against the curvature of the vessel. |
