Description: | The object is the fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel rim. In plan it is a sub-rectangular shape, with the rim forming a narrow edge, and is the only unbroken edge. The breaks are not too recent, but also are not covered by the dark green patina on the interior surface. The interior surface has a well devloped smooth patina with slight pitting. In comparison the exterior surface has horizontal striations, and is covered with a heavy sooty deposit. The rim in profile is sub semi-circular in section with the wall of the body forming a slight neck. Geake suggests these cooking vessels date from the 13th to 15th centuries. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
