Description: | A fragment of a possible copper alloy vessel lid. The fragment is a portion of a possible lid edge. The perimeter is curved, suggesting it is approximately 87mm diameter. Otherwise all the edges are broken, but not recently. Also the fragment is slightly crumpled, but originally it appears that the fragment was flat. The surfaces have a well developed dark green patina. It measures 31.98mm long, 36.93mm wide and a single thickness is 1.04mm, rather than the double thickness where it is folded. It weighs 7.3g.
Egan (Egan, G. 1998 The Medieval Household: Daily Living c. 1150 ?? c. 1450 The Stationary Office: London) illustrates similar copper alloy lids with a similar diameter. The patina suggests it is of age. The Egan examples, No. 484 and 486, were found in mid to late 14th centuries. This is only a possible function and date for the recorded object as there is not enough diagnostic information to provide a confident date and identification. | Subjects: | Lid | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
