Description: | Rim sherd from a cast copper alloy vessel. The rim has an expanded, semi-circular lip on the inner side. The inner side shows signs of a polished surface while the outside is rougher. The sherd is too small to establish the origional diameter but it would have been relatively large. Large copper alloy cooking and serving vessels were widely used in the Medieval and Post Medieval periods concentrated between 1250 and 1650 AD.
It is 39.4mm long, 26.4mm wide and 4.5 mm thick at the rim; it weighs 11.33 grams. | Subjects: | Rim | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
