Description: | Cast lead/tin alloy incomplete aviary or cage bird food or water trough with flat bottom, and flared top half with moulded band and rim. The body of the vessel has been pushed out by the finder after having been flattened in the soil, so that it is now semi-circular in plan. There is a small perforation in the middle of the back of the vessel, which was probably used to suspend the feeder within the cage.
Read (1988) illustrates and similar example on page 98, number 606, which is dated to the 15th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
