Description: | A moulded clay pipe bowl with the heel and stem missing. The bowl is incomplete, and is made from a white clay. In profile the bowl appears to lean forward at c. 45 ??. It is a short bowl with convex sides, particularly the lower edge. The only decoration on the bowl is a single rouletted line bordering the rim of the bowl. The bowl measures 31.02mm long from rim to the broken base, and the bowl is 18.18mm wide. The bowl is full of soil, and it therefore weighs 9.4g.
According to Oswald (1975) the shape of the bowl suggests it was made in the late 17th century, c.1680- c.1710. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
