Description: | A cast copper-alloy possible vessel fragment, perhaps from the foot of a cooking vessel, most likely to be medieval or post medieval in date.
This fragment is solid and triangular in shape and measures 31.2mm in length, 17mm in width and 14.9mm in thickness. Its complete terminal tapers and the incomplete end is flaring at the break. The flat, presumably back face, is concave and the front face is decorated with four protruding parallel transverse oblong mouldings.
All faces of this fragment have a sooty black patina, which implies that it was in use in an open fire, and is very similar to the patinas found on other cast copper-alloy cooking vessels dating 1300-1600AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
