Description: | A copper-alloy vessel lid, it is almost circular in shape, 44mm in diameter, slightly concave and bevelled at the edges, one segment is turned sharply upwards towards the spout. The thumb-piece is in the form of a swimming duck, its body is rectangular in shape, the neck slants backwards, the head is rounded and the beak has a triangular cross-section. The hinge tongue behind is broken. There is an identical vessel lid from the Verulamium excavations, it is believed to have come from a tall-necked, bulbous-bodied jug and is Roman in date (S. Frere 1984, p48-51, Fig 18). | Subjects: | LID | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
