Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy object which is probably a lid from a jug. A similar example was found at Colchester and is illustrated in Crummy, 1988, p. 72, no. 2047. The general form, in particular the hinge, seems more consistent with a Roman rather than later (for example, medieval or post-medieval) date.
The lid appears originally to have been oval or leaf-shaped. The narrower end is missing and may have once had an attached handle. At the wider end, the lid curves downwards slightly, towards the hinge. The damaged hinge is set at a right-angle to the rest of the lid and appears to have consisted of single perforated lug.
The object measures 46.9mm long, 41.1mm wide and 9mm thick. The weight is 21.61g. | Subjects: | Lid | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
