Description: | The object is probably a fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel rim. Helen Geake suggests these cooking vessels date from the 13th to 16th centuries (Finds Recording Guide 2001).
In profile the body of the vessel is slightly convex from the exterior. The rim is triangular in section with the tip pointing towards the interior of the vessel. The wall of the vessel is 3.35mm thick. The fragment has broken edges that are not too recent. The interior surface has a slightly rough surface with fine horizontal striations. There are also occasional scratches, which are not recent. The exterior surface is also slightly rough with linear striations which are almost obliquely angled. The surface has traces of a black substance which may be carbon/sooty deposits.
The fragment measures 54.02mm wide across the rim and 38.95mm long. It weighs 36.15g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
