Description: | A lead plug designed to repair a break in a vessel. There is a groove in the object where it was moulded to fit the sides of the vessel, expanding either side of the groove to keep the plug in place. The pot mend's maximum dimensions are 49 mm long and 38 mm wide. It is 18 mm thick. Such pot mends were in use from the Roman period through to the post-medieval period, and it is likely that this is a Roman example.
