- Description
- Large lug handle with hole in center. Orientation is unclear, but because the edge where it was attached is completely flat, perhaps it was one of two handles attached to a lid, or else one of two at the end of a flat “tray.” On one side of the handle a segment of pinkish-cream colored paint outlined in black with four crosshatched triangles. The same pinkish-cream color on the inside of the perforated hole. Triangles are not evenly sized nor spaced. Orange-red fabric with red slip. Red-slipped on other side. Smoothed on both sides.
