Description: | A fragment of a possible copper alloy vessel rim. The rim has an indented ??? shaped profile with the underside of the rim forming a semi-circular shaped curve leading the rim to the body of the vessel. The upper surface of the rim has a slight lip and is quite flat. The upper surface has fine striations which match the curvature of the rim, made in the manufacture of the vessel. The edges, with the exception of the rim are all broken, but not recently. The surfaces have a well developed dark green patina. It measures 29.09mm long across the rim, 16.32mm wide from the rim to the broken edge opposite and the rim is 6.58mm thick. It weighs 5.9g.
The fragment is possibly a vessel rim, suggested by its profile, but a similar comparison cannot be found which has the ??? shaped profile. The type of vessel it may have been is uncertain, but perhaps a dish with the wide flat upper surface. The condition of the metal, and similar shaped vessels illustrated in Egan (Egan, G. 2005 Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition MoLAS Monograph 19), Nos. 441 to 446 which are dated to the 15th to 17th centuries. | Subjects: | Rim | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
