Description: | A Post Medieval lead large vessel, Geoff Egan suggests it is probably a mortar used for grinding (AD1300-1800). The vessel is cylindrical, the rim has been made by folding over the uneven top of the vessel and hammering it to form a rim. The base appears to be a separate cap of lead. The shape of the vessel has been distorted so that the top is now pressed shut.
On the base there are some scratched marks created by deliberate tooling. The letters ??A?? or ??V?? may be depicted. There is also a very small mark on the base that may be a touchmark and it may be the letter ??P??.
Dimensions: diameter: 97.83mm; length: 117.37mm; thickness of vessel wall: 7.58mm; weight: 1594.4g.
