Description: | Rim for a cast copper alloy item. The item was circular and tapered towards the opening at the rim. There is an angle just below the rim where the flaring widens slightly and there are two incised lines below the rim on the outer side. The fragment is too small to estimate the original diameter.
The item is 14.4mm long, 17.9mm wide, 2.2mm thick and 2.53 grams.
The blackish colour and texture suggests a tin alloy. The fragment is too small to identify the original item but posibilities include an open bell, a cup or a small mortar for grinding. Two other fragments were found in the same field which may be from this item or a similar item. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
