Description: | A cast copper alloy rim fragment from a copper alloy vessel, attached to the handle of the pot. Below the broken handle there is also a handle support, which is formed rather like an elbow joint to give extra support to the thin handle, presumably to help make sure that the handle does not broke off from the pot. The support is therefore a right angled joint and joins to the pot rim.
The rim is thickened and chamfered along the top edge. The object is worn with worn edges and a dark greenish-grey patina. Due to a lack of context it is not possible to closely date this object, although it is medieval to post medieval in date.
This type of support has not been seen before on any of the recorded Sussex bronze pots. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
