Description: | A Medieval copper alloy rim cast repair of a vessel (1350-1400). It is sheet copper alloy that has been folded over with irregular overlaps from the join with the broken part of the original vessel. The external side is longer than the internal side and the lower edges are ragged and uneven. On the internal surface of the external side that is revealed, is a considerable amount of carbon deposit. At one end of the external surface, alongside the rim, there appears to be the remains of a circular perforation with a raised lip around it. The rim is slightly everted suggesting that this repair is most likely to be from a cauldron with two loops for handles or from a two-spouted hanging laver (Egan 1998:166). It is similar to no. 465 excavated in London that has been dated to 1350-1400 (Egan 1998:165-168 fig.135). Pale-mid green rough patina. Dimensions: length: 103.72mm; width: 47.16mm; thickness: 6.60mm; weight: 125.70g. Egan, G. 1998. The Medieval Household. The Stationery Office, London.
