Description: | A copper-alloy incomplete Roman vessel lid, from a jug. The lid is oval in shape and part of the outer edge is incomplete due to old breaks, it measures 26mm in length and 25.88mm in width. The front face is convex and the back face concave. The outer edge starts to turn upwards sharply, this edge would have been over the spout. There is a circular hole in the centre of this broken edge the function of which is unknown. Parallel to this hole in the centre of the inner edge there is a worn three dimensional, integral probable bird with a rectangular body vertical neck and small incomplete head.
There is a complete jug lid with a swimming duck on its inner edge from Bredfield, Suffolk (see SF-10041) which is very similar to a vessel lid from the Verulamium excavations. It is believed to have come from a tall-necked, bulbous-bodied jug and is Roman in date (S. Frere 1984, p48-51, Fig 18). | Subjects: | lid jug | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
