Description: | Small lead vessel, of the type thought to have been feeding dishes for birds. The rim is thickened and is now squashed flat, measuring 63 mm wide. The base appears to have been oval and the feeder appears to have been originally c. 28 mm high. There are no hooks to fasten it to a cage and no decoration. The walls of the feeder are quite thick and the vessel is heavy at 104g. Dimensions in its squashed state are 63 x 35 x 10 mm. Similar items have been found in the River Thames silts, some with seed inside them but one with dice, leading to a suggestion that they may also have been dice rolling cups.
