Description: | Clay pipe fragment dating to the 17th century. The stem of and base of the bowl of the pipe has broken away leaving just the top of the bowl. The bowl is circular in section with convex sides giving it a bulbous shape. The mouth of the bowl is chipper; running around part of the remaining rim, on the outside, is probably rouletted decoration with an indented horizontal line crossed by close together regular unindented vertical lines. The bowl is 18.6mm in maximum external diameter and 30.2mm tall.
The shape of the bowl suggest a c.1620-1640 AD date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
